Hello,
I recently moved the contents of my small HDs to one bigger. Well, not really 
moved, just copied so far.
As a side effect, none of my photos can be retrived, since the name of the 
current HD is different from those of the previous ones.
The safest way to deal with this would be to clear the DB, then re-import the 
whole contents.
But, then, I would have to manually process the photos year by year, since I 
apply a preset that writes the year the photo was taken at import. I manually 
update it each year.
Of course, if it was possible to use variables within the metadata fields, so 
one could write, for instance "Copyright $Year_Taken", and the field would be 
filled with the appropriate value, things would be far easier. Unfortunately, 
my request still remains at the same point.
So, the second way would be to replace the paths directly within the DB which - 
I confess - I can't do.

Maybe someone there could give me some hint ?
