I need to change the drive and directory name of where all my pictures are stored. I have created a query to list all the media file paths which I need to change. My question is - is there any way of making the change globally all at once? Or do I have to go through each one individually and do the same thing about 300 times?
If not can this go on the wish list please?
Thanks

Probably the easiest way is to load the GEDCOM file into a text editor and do a find and replace.

Or use the Work with External File links on the Tools menu to change them all over in about 3 clicks.
There are details on how to use the option available, just click the help button at the base of the tool.

Thank you both for your replies. Both of your answers concerned methods which I'd not been aware of but will use for other things in the future I'm sure. I used the Work with external files feature and it was very quick and easy!
Marvellous!
