Full Version: Source Folder Name Change

Is it possible to change the source folder for songs in a setlist, in particular for audio files, but also for pdf sheet music? I have tried batch importing audio files, but this creates blank page audio files. I have a situation where the name of the source file had to be changed and I would prefer not to load the songs separately.
You'd have to move the files to a different folder, then long press one of the songs, tap the three dots at the top right and then select "Swap File". Then select the new location and it will update the song to use the file from the new location. There are other possible solutions though:

1) Delete all the songs and reimport the files
2) Run queries against the database to replace the old folder path with the new (this is somewhat complicated)
3) Move the files, then go to Settings->Other Settings and select "Fix Broken File Paths". You can either let MobileSheets try to repair things automatically, or you can use the manual approach if you want to enter the old path to replace and then pick the new location using the folder button.

Option #3 would let you update many songs at once if this is needed.

Suggest you make a MS backup before you start!

Very helpful. Option 3 - manual approach seems the way to go. Many thanks.
