Change File Path for All Files
« on: June 24, 2016, 08:20:10 am »

I have my music files in a several different directories on an external harddrive. I have a second external harddrive whose directory structure is the same except for the volume name. How can I re-address all of my files so that they now point to the second hard drive. I tried find and replace but it doesn't seem to just find and replace the volume name it eliminates all the subdirectories too. Is there not way to simply use find a replace to change a single term in the file path?

I apologise if this is straightforward and I've missed something. I read some other threads but none of them seemed to explain exactly how to do this.

Thanks

I just figured it out, the very second after I decided to post. I had both the 'find and replace' and the 'directories' box ticked. After unticking the directories box it worked.

Thanks to all those who would have helped!
