Glad I could help. I learned almost everything I know about MC here on the forum.
Ouch, though, that's a lot of files to curate.
Wish you a happy, healthy and successful New Year (mine starts on January 20th  :D

Fortunately, at least so far, 🤞 they are mostly incorrect filenames (1), (2), etc from the days when MC didn't overwrite dupes and some incorrect directory name prefixes. I use a photo program called Lightroom to manage and develop my digital photos. Similar to a DAM like MC. If you move a file outside LR then it can't find it. Fortunately, LR has the built in capability to allow you to "find missing files". You initiate that and browse to the directory where there really are and LR updates its internal database. No internal browse in the MC library renaming to find missing files. :( The way I found in MC is the Library rename/move files to correct the file paths. I realize music lovers probably don't move files around much but us photographers are ALWAYS moving stuff and forgetting where we put it!

Yeah, I’m having some trouble occasionally with renaming files as well. I do a lot of curation on my media files. Because my media are on a NAS that sometimes creates havoc and Imhave Romeo chasing after files. F6 is a great thing.
