Change file paths for existing DB entries?

Post by ilikepeas »

Hi there,

I've been using XnViewMP for a while now and loving it but I've just realised that I bunch of my photos have the wrong file paths, probably because I changed the drive letter of the external HD that I store on my pictures on.

Is there a way (easy or otherwise) to change the file patch for a file in the DB? i.e.
File in the DB: e:\foo\bar\001.jpg
Actual file: y:\foo\bar\001.jpg

I could just re-import the files from the "new" file path but the original entries have metadata associated with them which I don't really want to lose.

Thanks!
