Can I point files to new location?

Post by TJ Asher »

Hello,

I am migrating my vast photo collection to a different storage volume and am using Chronosync to do the file copying so it can run in the background and maximize my network throughput.

But, this leaves NeoFinder pointed at my old location for the data.

Can I point the catalogs/files to the new location similar to how I can do in Lightroom?

Cheers!

The answer to my own question is YES, you can do this.

The trick is Reconnect Catalog:

While it is a bit cumbersome if you have hundreds of catalogs like I do, it can be done. It's a LOT of click, click, click.

It would be nice to have an option to set the root folder to a different volume for a selected collection of catalogs in the case of many of catalogs. I do one catalog of photos per day as recommended by NeoFinder so as not to have to keep refreshing a catalog daily. Those catalogs are kept in a catalog folder, again per NeoFinder's best practices.

At least I can get done what I need done.
