Hey guys!

Let's say I need to move "mymovie.mpg" from external drive location "K:\FILES\VIDEOS\" to external drive location "M:\MOVIES\", as well as rename the file to "Great Movie (2014).mpg".

What's the safest/most logical way to do this so that JRiver can not only know about the new location but that any tags will also be maintained? Neither the old nor new locations are currently set to auto-update, but I'm not against turning that on if the best solution requires it.

Select File(s). Right-click > Library Tools > Rename, Move, and Copy.

Do a few before you do a bunch! Maybe make a Library Backup too (it won't hurt).

finallygreen, don't forget the Wiki. One of the entries there is - Moving Files

glynor has given you an excellent summary of the function. If you're in need of further guidance, the Wiki is a good place to look for self help.

You can also search the forum for my username and "rename move copy" and you'll get a bunch of hits.
