You don't have to change each one individually! You should *never*
have to do something like that in Gramps... always ask first.

In this situation, change the menu -> Edit -> Preferences, media path
to "/", then all of your relative paths (the ones that start with
"home") will work. Then you can go to menu -> Tools -> Media Manager,
and change the relative paths to absolute.
