[digiKam-users] How To Tell DigiKam That Image Files Have Moved?

DigiKam 7.9.0
Windows 7

Each record in the thumbnails database contains a pointer to the 
thumbnails' associated image files.
E.g. this appears in FilePaths for one of my thumbnail records: 
Q:/Photo/ScannedFilm/P3S41.tif

I gather that if I move the image files, I have to change the FilePaths 
entries.
The only way I know to do this is to dump the database, edit the dump, 
and restore the database.
E.g. if I move my files to folder R:/Photos/, I can change the FilePaths 
to the new folder name.
That seems simple enough, though tedious, and one is unlikely to move 
the images often.
Even so, is there a way to tell DigiKam to make the changes throughout 
the database?
I.e. in my example, can I tell DigiKam to change all instances of 
"Q:/Photo/ScannedFilm" to "R:/Photos"?
