The process of changing the location type initially asks for the

face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">location </font>of the
removable media (</font><font face="Courier New, Courier,
monospace"><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">/media/mik/d3p3-photos)</font>
and then for the name of the "top" folder in that location.</font></p>
<p><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">There is currently
no "top" folder so:-<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">It appears that I
would have to create a dummy folder on /media/mik/d3p3-photos to
act a "top"</font></p>
<p><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">I can do that but
what effect will it have on the existing database and its
contents ?</font></p>
<p><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">I really don't want
to degrade the existing records !</font></p>

- how do I define the collection as removeable without losing all the
stored info? I'm concerned that hitting the delete button will lose the
stored info
- what is the practical difference of the 2 options (local/removeable?
