open PhotoLab, select a target folder, then select a source folder.create the target structure, be it as a new set of folders and subfolders, be it by changing an existing structure.The process is fairly annoying, but it should deliver, using the following steps: One can still reorganize a folder structure without trashing the database. dop sidecar files in my folders would allow the index to be rebuilt without my losing any important info, tight? Has anyone ever done this? And if so, is there just one or two of the three database files I should remove, or should I do all three? What if I were to just remove the current PL6 database and reindex again? I think that the. So I am thinking of trying something drastic.

PL6 doesn’t seem to have a way to “forget” a folders old location. Problem is, this is very laborious and I moved almost every folder I have. That fixes it for all of the images in that folder. The problem can be fixed by right-clicking on one of the “missing” images, selecting the option to locate the file, navigating to the new location of the containing folder, and selecting the image. PL6 recognizes the images in the folder where I moved it to, but it thinks the folder is still in its old location and complains that it can’t find the images in it. That was when I remembered a problem I reported previously with PL4 ( Getting PL4 to "forget" a folder) and had forgotten about. I found many, many instances of images that could not be found.

Everything seemed fine - PL6 just read the new folder tree and all the corrections were still there. Since you can’t do anything with a folder from the Mac version of PL6, I did this with the Finder. Recently I decided to reorganize my folders.
