Hello all.
I replicated my Photo hard drive.
The contents are identical.
The old Photo hard drive was about to fail (it has now).
I plug in the replicated hard drive.
Same drive letters, everything is identical.
iMatch believes that EVERYTHING is offline.
So I Right mouse clicked on a folder, then selected Relocate to other Disk/Media.
The Source and Destination folders are identical.
iMatch then removes the folder from the drive hierarchy. It is gone.
Thank goodness I only did this with one folder.
Question:
How do I tell iMatch to open it's eyes and see that all the images are there?
Nothing has changed.
Thanks,
James.
EDIT:
Using iMatch 3.6.0.118 on Windows 7.
No support is available from me for IMatch 3.x anymore. This software is 10 years out of date.
See Off-line Folders and Files (https://www.photools.com/help/imatch/#offline-files.htm) for principal information about how current IMatch versions work with off-line folders and disks.

I think I had the same thing many years ago; refresh the top node in the list (right click, Refresh); or just close/reopen imatch. It's a shock when it happens the first time!

Hi there,
I've tried hitting F5; Ctrl + F5; Right Mouse Click - Rescan.
Half the menu items in the Right Click context menu are greyed out.
I've since noticed other strange behaviour with iMatch.
Those Folders that disappeared when I clicked "Relocate to other Disk/Media" have reappeared in the Root Node.
And one of them is asleep.
I have no idea.
Maybe I should let the whole thing rebuild overnight....
Cheers for your help.
EDIT:
Or maybe I look at upgrading iMatch.
I didn't know it was that out of date - a compliment to the program and author, it has served me well.
Sounds like a problem with relocation? Maybe relocated to the wrong spot?
I don't recall anymore how reloc worked in the ancient IMatch 3.x. This was 10 years ago.
Maybe just restore your last daily backup of the database and retry the relocation.
