Has anyone ran into this issue before:
I had to move 4 years of Presonus/Fender files from C:\Music\xxx to D:\Music\xxx (To a larger hard drive)
Now Presonus/Fender has to relocate all the .wav files and other files in every song since the locations are not relative, but absolute.
I know I can just click 'locate missing files' when opening a project. But I have over 4 years of projects and 10,000+ files, thus a week or two. Getting them one at a time as I go bogs down the workflow speed and slows deadlines.
It'd be great is was a way to do a script that would append all the .song files and replace the old folder name with the new one.
- Powershell scripts don't work because, unlike xml files, these are coded SQL-ish style database files.
- I know there could be a way using a SQL Lite app with Python tools, but that would be a long process to build, test and run.
- Renaming the drive to "C" isn't an option, as that drive is reserved just for the OS.
Anyone run into this?
