Organizer 14 - reconnect all files, including sub-directories

[MaryMiller818]

My old computer died, and I have a new one. I copied over all of my photos from the old computer to the new one, but my new computer uses the "D" drive as the data drive, not the "C" drive like my old computer.

This means that all of my files are now in the "wrong" place.

I was able to reconnect more than 3/4's of the files, but my last group of files (10,000 of them!) won't reconnect.

They are all in an (old) directory, and there are many layers of subdirectories. I can reconnect them one at time by laboriously finding each individual file in its deeply nested subdirectory, so I know they're there, but there has to be an easier way!

I did edit the rmf.3.cache file to show the main directory I want it to reconnect through (that worked before) but it's not working now.

Any other ideas that I can try?

The new "root" directory that all the files are in is called

D:\Users\Mary2013\My Complete Photoshop Ele Database (obviously, it used to be C:\ etc....)

As an example, one of the files is this deep in a subdirectory:

D:\Users\Mary2013\My Complete Photoshop Ele Database\2010 Premier\54-january-10-Kits-Templates\54_waiting_QuickPages_all\01_54_waiting_jwhite_front

Does this make sense? Any ideas? Thanks, everyone!!

Reconnection help:

Photoshop Elements (PSE) knowledge base.

That process should help you to recover a folder with all its nested subfolders.

Anyway, a manual reconnection will recover all the files in a subfolder, not only a single file.

Thank you - what finally worked was re-importing the files. I still couldn't get it to recover the subfolders through the reconnection process, but the reimporting process worked fine.
