Hi
Here's my problem. I reinstalled Photoshop Elements to a new computer and restored all my pictures on a location that has a different path than what was recorded in the Catalog database.
Now all my pictures have to be reconnected.
The "reconnect" function reconnect pictures folder by folder. I have more than 300 folders.
Anyway I can make the catalog understand that everything that was under C:\Pictures is now under D:\PSE\Pictures?
Thanks
Did you use the only recommended way to move your pictures and catalog to a new computer or new drive?

As you have seen, reconnecting is not a realistic solution for a big library.
My personal advice for managing your photo library is to absolutely avoid using the default Windows 'pictures' folder. Create a new master folder just under the main (root) folder of the destination drive to store your photo/video files.
The other important advice for safety is to store your library (as well as your other documents) in a separate drive or partition than the main drive with your Operating System and programs. So, if you have (or can create) a full backup from your old computer, simply choose your new 'custom' master folder location and restore there.
