Replaced folder, directory changed

[Bumperke]

After several years another question.

The now situation:

Several music folder are no longer on my H drive, instead on my D. so when i load old playlistst PF doens't find the files. Is there a way i can play these files again without changing the directory? That takes a lifetime, i do have several hdskswith music on it.
What can i do?

change the relevant drive letter and paths via disk management?

It depends a bit where you have stored your playlist and where your music files are located, as by default PF tries to save paths relative.

However, I assume, that your paths already contain the drive letter.
The easiest way to change an absolute path in a playlist is to directly edit it, as PF has no such ‚change drive letter‘ option itself.
Ie. open the related .pfp file with any text editor (as these are standard xml files).
Then you can edit the ‚<location>‘ entry. For example just replace all of the following text:

From: <location>H:
To: <location>C:

This will replace all location entries starting with the drive letter H to the drive letter C.
Make a backup of your file first.

I remember that option again, thxs Bernd. You could edit text in notepad if I'm right

Correct. I am also using Notepad++ for those kind of things.
