[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 1180684, member: 18896"] MovPic uses hashes, so you could have just added M:\ as new import path (without it containing any movies by setting up fake UNC reference), close MovPic config, and then 'move' all the files from old import path to new one. When you relaunch MovPic config it will very quickly rescan all the hash codes found on the M:\ import path, recognize they are the same movies, and only update the path reference in all relevant dbase locations without having to do any SQL. Once moved over, then you delete the old import path. Each move entry is marked in the movingpictures.log, but in the MovPic config you can also visually see it happening with movies having a red color entry, and slowly they will all update to black. It is safer to verify in the movingpictures.log that the background/import scans completed though, especially on a large collection. PS: The option to remove an import path, but mark it as such was designed I believe to replace say D:\ with D:\, because for physical HDDs the volume/serial is also linked. [/QUOTE]
