Enter new path directly |
Select this option if you know the directory where the images are located. Attention: the file paths will then be directed to this directory. If you use multiple sources for your project, better use the Find missing or renamed files automatically option. |
Then specify which entries are to be adjusted. After you have made all entries, click Next.
2 Narrow search
Select the locations to be searched here. The more locations are searched, the more time the search takes. When you have narrowed down the search, click Next. |

4 Select found files
After a successful search, the found files will be displayed. Select which files to insert to replace the files that are not displayed. Click Finish to insert the files. Save your project afterwards so that the new paths are also present when you reopen the project. |
Via Project / Check for errors you can finally check again whether all files are present. If there are still errors, a mouse click on the corresponding line in the error report will take you to the location where the file is missing. |
