Title: Automatic Update/Repair of File Links
Post by: Warlock on April 04, 2003, 08:56:39 am

Being the compulsive organization freak that I am, I occassionally move files/directories around and I've noticed that this will cause problems with my MC library.  My workaround has been to delete the database entries for the old files and then import the "new" files.  

Does anyone know of a way to have MC do this for me?  Prior to switching to MC I used a program called MP3 Collector, which would search for broken links and then automatically update the links (pending user approval).  Perhaps this functionality is already in MC, but I haven't been able to find it.

You can use the My Computer tree in MC9 to move the folders around and the library will be updated accordingly.

Thanks for the reply, Doof.  I wasn't aware of this functionality.  

I just tried to do this, however, and it is giving me an error that reads: "Media Jukebox failed to move the folder.  This usually happens when files inside the folder are in use by other programs."  

I tried this with several different folders (w/ .apes in them).  I closed all other software, etc. and still no luck.   Any ideas?
