Title: How to change image folder location in Anywhere
Post by: neal on February 07, 2024, 02:08:04 PM
Mario,
Recently I changed the location of my images to a faster drive. Now Anywhere cannot find them. Where is the settings in Anywhere?

Open the database in IMatch and use the Relocate command so IMatch can update the database.
See Off-line Folders and Files (https://www.photools.com/help/imatch/offline-files.htm?dl=hid-1)

I did that, but Anywhere does not recognize that.

That's very unlikely. Anywhere gets all folder information from the database, it has no own folder memory or anything.
What do you mean by "not find them"?

Did you relocate the correct database? Maybe you use a different database for IMatch Anywhere and IMatch?

Same DB. Imatch works fine even after relocate from D: to G:, but ANY gives the following info:
Drive/Media off-line: 'D: (BE33-F535)'. Note: drive mappings cannot be used in Windows services. Note: If you run IMatch WebServices under the default 'LocalSystem' user account, it has no access to files and folders on other computers. See IMWS documentation for information about how to solve this.

Found the problem. I forgot to copy the IM DB to the ANY DB!

That's what I guessed. Happens sometimes.
