So far, DVDpedia has been working wonderfully. Genuinely useful, not just a pretty list. I've now decided to commit the rest of my movie collection to DVDpedia, but this will entail moving a boatload of media files from a couple of small external drives to a larger dedicated external drive (yet to be purchased), which will break the associated links in DVDpedia. I know that I can simply modify the link itself to reflect the new location, but we're talking several hundred files now, and manually changing each link would be tedious and prone to errors.
Is there some way of doing this globally? All I need to change is the root volume name, for example, from "file:///Volumes/iPhone media/Casablanca.m4v" to "file:///Volumes/Movies/Casablanca.m4v." A global find and replace would be ideal, replacing "iPhone media" with "Movies". Does such a feature exist? If not, can AppleScript or Automator be used to accomplish this?
If not, is there some way to do this without manually changing the link? In the "Edit DVD/Links" window, there's a button for "Move," but while that does automate the link modification process, it also moves the file to the DVDpedia folder, which not quite what I want to do. If I could specify in the Preferences where this "Move" action moved the file, that would save some time, but it would still be a lengthy process.
Really, a Find/Replace function limited to modifying only the links would be the best way to accomplish this. I imagine that other people would also like to have this capability, if not now, then down the road, as they add more media or need to replace old drives.
Thanks!
