Is there a way to “gang” recover or “re-sync” "collection" data back into Bridge Collections?

I have a new computer system with Windows 10, and a new Ps from CC. All my stored pictures were back-up and reinstalled. But now all my image information in Ps Bridge Collections is missing. How do I recover the data? I have a multitude of “collections.”

The “collection” shows but all are empty and shows: “xx Missing Files Detected.” When I click “fix” it requires a search for each individual image. Is there a way to “gang” recover or “re-sync” the data back into Collections?

Moved to the Bridge forum, from the Photoshop forum.

This is the Photoshop forum, not the Bridge forum.

Have you tried the fix button? This shouldn't be required for every image, once one image has been fixed others should update if they match the new path.

Yes, as a last resort, the underlying file is an XML file that can be easily updated in a text editor, bulk find/replacing the old image paths with the new ones.
