Yes, set up a second data source and after scraping use the action "change data source of selected movie(s)" which results of the movies being moved to the other data source.
I cannot say if that also works when using a cloud storage as the second data source - you might have to test it

add a data source with the new location and to an "update data sources"..
to be honest - we cannot implement each corner case and some users just need to have "patience" if they have a special setup and things go slow because of that...

if you "change/replace" the data source everything must be imported new.. but for later on: movies inside tmm can be in nested folders and that _should_ work

Hi,
I would like to insist in this feature. You may want to rename your movie directory, move to another location, or because of working with cloud service, as google drive, you might change the map drive in your computer, for example if you change to rclone instead of raidrive, or whatever other reason.
Being able to tell TMM that your specific path has change to another one, maintaining the same structure, would be a need feature to don't have to rescan all the library.
Having TMM to move you hole movie collection doesn't make any sense, since it can be huge and all it needs to be done is to be able to tell TMM that a specific directory has another name or it is into another path.
Please, consider this as a possibility, since It will save a lot of time spent in doing mediainfo for movies / tv shows, specially when working from google drive, as I do. Just to scan my collection TMM can be working as much as 3 days... just because of a directory name change.
You can say... "don't change the name" but sometimes we work into teamdrives with other people and things must be reorganized.
On the other hand... if not directly into TMM... is there any way we can access to any file in TMM (database or whatever) and edit that path?
Regards,
