Relink all Photos in Relink option

[Len]

As the title, I can relink individual photos but fail to relink the whole Folder.

Any suggestions please

What exactly does fail for you, Len?  According to my understanding, you can relink a folder, if you moved an entire folder from one drive to another while leaving the content of the folder intact. I just tried it successfully with a small folder.

I moved it in Win 10 explorer and then relinked in Daminion.

I have whole Folders with the ? in each Photo, I can relink single photo but not the whole folder

Perhaps I`ve got the concept of relinking wrong?

Maybe a simple guide to relinking would help?

The question is, why you got the question mark. If the file names are wrong (renamed individual files), then you need to relink each single file .... which can be a lot of work.

agree, that why I`m asking if i can do the whole folder in one go.

For example, if you moved some images from one folder to another or renamed them, Daminion doesn't have any information to relink all automatically and indeed for each media item you need to either point to the correct file or enter its correct name and path.

In any case, I realized it is the best not to touch the folder structure after import. If you want to rename one or more images, you can do this in Daminion and there is no reason to relink.

In your case it is more important now to understand what exactly happened why Daminion lost the link.
