Per-BKWine Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 This is my setup: I have all my media files on a network file server (a NAS that I access over the LAN). I have my Daminion catalogue on my local computer. I am now moving all my media files to a new server. (The old server will remain though, but without media files.) There could be many reasons for this, for example if you outgrow the server. The issue: How do I get the catalogue to find the files on the new server? Or putting it another way, how do I change the path for the images. (For obvious reasons it is impossible to do this on a file-by-file basis.)

Uwe Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Hello Per-BKWine, both ways are possible. You can do it for the folder: right click on the folder->Relink Folder AND item by item: right click on the item->Actions OR Action button on the right upper corner of the thumbnail->Relink item...

Murat Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Hi Per! The first step is to backup your existing catalog (I guess you use Daminion Server version): "Administration panel > Catalogs > Backup" After that, you can select the root folder in your Tags tree, right click, go to "Relink Folder" menu and point to a new root of your files (on a new server PC) Update: Uwe was faster than me and already answered you ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Per-BKWine Posted June 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Thanks Uwe and Murat! Really appreciate you lightning fast feedback. Tried and had a crash of the application. Will have to try again in a few days' time since I'm in a conference in Italy for the next few days. (If ever you come past Paris it would be nice meeting you!) Will be back in a few days' time. /Per Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Per-BKWine Posted June 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 Just wanted to let you know that it worked as it should the second time I tried, now back in the office. So I have been able to move all my media assets to my new NAS and relink the catalogue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
