I have a HDD partition that I use for files storage. It's my version of a "My Documents" folder. On this partition I have a "PowerDirector" folder where I keep all my projects.

It is 93GB in size with 19GB free.

I would like to move this folder to another partition which is 109GB in size and empty.

So here's my problem...

Naturally, when attempting to load a pds file, I get the box (see "PD13 FNF" attached) stating PD can't find the files.

My problem is this box doesn't show the entire path of the file it can't find. For the Directory Tree of my projects see file "PD13 DirTree".

Since the image file names are from Facebook, they are meaningless. So without the entire path, I have no idea where to look to find the correct image.

Would "packaging" my projects be the way to go?

Thank you for your time,

Joe

Sounds sensible. FILE|EXPORT|PACK PROJECT MATERIALS to a folder of your choice. If relocated, that folder will contain the needed pieces. Review these tips...

I keep some mini projects for later use, but I know I'll add new files, and already the advance preparation.

To save complete design right is to save the Pack Project Materials... with everything inside.

When there is a project open and lack a file, good PD shows the name, add this in the search, if stored on the PC I'll find it.

Note: files created within the project goes to the PD workbook, Expor Folder, these are deleted in 30 days (default)

Example: created file in the project:
