Moving file location, updating library and keeping watched status?
#1
Everything is working as it should be in my setup, but i need to move the location of the contents of one of my hard drives. No major issue there... However, I wan't to keep the "watched" status intact.

i.e

original file location
/mnt/data/movies/_incoming_/Firefly/firefly.avi

new location
/mnt/data/movies/scifi/Firefly/firefly.avi

If the movie is marked as watched, is there anyway to move it to its new location, update the library but only have it update the path so that all the other data is kept intact?

thanks

Not currently.

You can do so manually though by editing the db in any sqlite3 editor (eg SqliteSpy on win32 for instance).

It is something we hope to address eventually.

This will be nice. I'd even like the ability to write all the settings back to an nfo - because once you re-install your library from scratch, all the settings are gone - and it takes a lot of work to set them all back up again.
