What am I missing re external hard drive?
« on: March 30, 2007, 05:36:58 am »

been using MC12 to manage my music on an external terastation on \\tera1\share\music  it was getting full so i have moved some of my music to a new external drive at \\usbdisc1. By adding the new drive i have got the library to see the music in its new location but not FORGET it's old location so I have a lot of stuff duplicated with only one entry correct. Im sure this used to get managed automatically on MC11. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere?

the best way to move files is to use the drag function in the tree (move) if you do that MC updates the path's itself...
so maybe the  best way to do this is to move the back to the old drive and do it again...

also if you run import with option "Fix broken Links", MC removes files not in use...

be sure to have backups before you are moving files...some people have years invested in the MC database so do it carefully...
