Hello

I've changed the location of the files on my computer,
Before all the project files were in the same directory and now I've made more directory branches for better organization,
When I load my old project I want to be able to browse for the files by directory (Just pointing to the main branch for the computer to drill down for the missing files)
Is there no way to browse for all the files by pointing to the main directory ?
Because from what I currently see I need to find each and every file,

I am probably missing something, Help please

As far as i know you are correct. You have to find each file. I am not at my computer to verify that. __________________________________

Moving files without Packing the Project Materials is Very Bad.

You should never move or delete project materials unless you pack the project.

If all your files are in a folder, find the 1st PD file. automatically adds the other.
If files scattered in various folders, complicates al will have to pick up in groups or one by one. AMD-FX 8350 / 8GB DDR3
SSD SUV400S37240G / 2-HD WD 1TB
AMD Radeon R9 270 / AOC M2470SWD

Luckily I had a backup of the old project (before moving the files) so I had no problem to restore,

It is just that this option seems basic and I thought I've missed something,
Would be nice to have this in future versions,

Anyway thank you all for the quick response, problem solved
