I am running version 5.40 of My Movies on Windows 7 x64 and 2014 .NET. I had a disk failure and had to do a clean install of My Movies after replacing my disk. Previously I had my DVDs on three different disks in three different folders D:\DVDs, F:\DVD2 and K:\DVD3. When I installed a much larger disk I copied all my DVDs into D:\DVDs. After the database rebuilt, all the DVDs that had previously been in D:\DVDs had the correct location for the DVD folder. However all the others showed the location as D:\DVD2 or D:\DVD3 and therefore could not find the DVD since these folders no longer existed. I have over 1K DVDs and am looking for a way to change the locations using some sort of automated tool, rather than manually changing each one using Collection Management. Does such a tool exist?

I believe if you change one DVD that was on the folders F:\DVD2 and K:\DVD3 and moved to D:\dvd you will be prompted to update the rest for f:dvd2 and then K:\dvd3

I have changed a few using Collection Management, but I was never prompted to update the others. Is there some other way I should be making the change?

Thank you very much. Using the Browse option worked.
