The problem is that the new external hard drive is already in place, so 6.4.0 isn't seeing any files anymore...because the path has changed. The files are now all in a different spot. So I don't think writing anything within Digikam is going to work because it won't have the files to work with anymore. </div><div><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">I think I can just add the new path, but then it will see them all as new images, and for sure the folders won't have thumbnail images on them. <br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>
