Ahoy Captn Hector, Trying to do something i have not done for a while while clearing some space on external drives, though i have done this a lot in the past when moving folders around. Using the function Tools - Manage Your video Files - Batch Edit Several file Locations Entering an old location (Input string to be replaced - 1st dialog) >> K:\#MOVIES\2007\ and then a new one (Replace with this string) >> H:\#MOVIES\2007\ This then pops a box with Found 0 matching locations. The existing string is definitely in the DB Thanks for looking |

I've tried it on my computer and at first it worked fine. Then I've made more testing and that's where I've realized that the matching is case-sensitive. Please make sure that you didn't put an uppercase letter where it should have been a lowercase letter. On my side, I will modify the matching algorithm to be case-insensitive. |

The dialog warns that it's case sensitive: "Please input the string to be replaced (case sensitive)." At the time I've written that feature, I had decided it should be case sensitive. I don't know if it's be a good idea to change it. |

Thanks Hector, Not sure what went awry, i am 100% sure i checked before i moved the folder and it was pointing to the old(correct drive ) at the time and i could play movies from the green arrow and locations looked correct. Today i look, and now they are pointing to the correct new location (where i moved them) . Bit baffled Put it down to a "User Error" Sorry for troubling you |

No problem, don't hesitate to report the next time you see something wrong. |

When the app detects that a drive letter has changed, it fixes the locations automatically. Maybe it's the explanation... |
