Even though you already solved the issue i would like to explain the functionality behind "Toggle Replaced" as it might be confusing at first.

I thought i had put up a broader description on the wiki but i can't verify that right now so here it goes:


if you mark an import path with "Toggle Replaced" you are actually saying that the import path is "not being used" and you are replacing it.

What this changes in the import process is that if it finds files/movies on other import paths that match files/movies from the "replaced" path (hash signature wise),

it will register the new import path with the existing data.


Why such a setting? Normally moving pictures tries to verify the existance of the file first on the old path so it can account for the move. In some situations this isn't possible and by marking the path as replaced you tell moving pictures that when any movie located on that path is found somewhere else it should be moved over.


Once all movies/files are removed from the old import path this path will be automatically cleaned up (and removed from the system)
