I believe that this question has been asked recently, so I apologized if it has. I have recently changed computers and my media path has changed. I was using a MacBook Pro and now am using a MacBook Air. I can change the path for each piece of media individually but I was hoping one of you had a way of changing it on mass. I have over 400 pieces of media and am willing to change each one individually but before I do that I thought I would ask. Thank you Nathan |

Hi Nathan, My favorite approach would be to export your database as an XML file, making sure to include everything - don't have living people filtered out for example - and edit the XML file with your favorite text editor. Make a copy of the exported file and edit the copy. Use a text editor that has a good mass replace function. Then when you have updated the file to reflect the new reality, import the XML file into a new GRAMPS database and see how you did.

How about "Tools / Media Manager" then use the substring replacement function?

If you can still get to the old machine, you should be able to create the hash codes to allow Nick Halls wondrous "Media Verify" tool to solve the problem for you. http://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Media_Verify_Tool Nick very kindly wrote this after I raised a difficulty, and proposed a crude software design.

Hey all, The Tools / Media Manager substring replacement function worked perfectly. Thanks for all the help.
