when storing file on a portable drive or a harddrive with a designated drive letter. after changing a drive letter of a hard drive or moving the folders elsewhere and when attempting to update the property to reflect the new location, picaloader can not rebuild the image database correctly it only shows blank icons and when going through slideshow pages are blank

when attempting to move checked files with blank icons it says" move 0 pictures to drive letter:\folder name\

Have you tried editing the picainfo.dat file with a text editor and changing the new location of the files there? You should see the old location, just do a find and replace.

Also need to change the Picture Folder location on the Project Properties dialog box.

Hope this helps ya!

thank you very much!!
it sure helps hopefully this feature will done automatically in the future without user intervention... by the way here are more errors that i found:

(a) sometimes when previewing pictures smaller pictures will display on top of larger pictures
(b) search function works, but when trying to slideshow in the search results slideshow doesn't work
(c) after project complete says 24475 errors occurred and switch to report pane for details there is nothing in the report pane detailing the errors and neither does anything show in the report.html generated
