Wow. That was a very UNKIND email, Patrick Shanahan. Can you please stop being
a dictator? I can also dictate you to add the most recent answer on top or to
give me a solution that doesn’t involve source code, but I don't. I prefer it
my way and I have different skill sets than you. If you don't like people doing
things another way than you, it's your problem. Helping them find a solution
that works form them - THAT is helping. Giving 1 solution that I can't work
with and dictate me using that... is NOT helping.
I provided my OS: I'm working on a Macbook Air M1. I sent images, but those
didn't come through.
Not everyone is able to run a script, like me. There must be other ways and I'm
looking for those. A string is a series of numbers/letters/symbols, like the
one you sent wit l-r. I don't know what it means and where to enter it. That's
what I asked: do I have to enter that string or 'sentence' in the searchbox on
the folder level where the problem is? A search box is this box with the
magnifying glass. I'm sure you know what it is.
DT is latest version.
Kind regards,
Hieke van Hoogdalem

them. Will try (tomorrow or so) entering the string you gave me in the search

But I moved the complete folder. So it those are hidden files, they were
relocated too.

moved some folders of photos I’d already worked on. Some photos show the
pixelated scull, others show thumbnails but aren’t accessible for further
editing I can’t find how to restore/repair the file paths.

please explain further "entering the string you gave me in the search box"
as that statement really doesn't quite click to me:
I do not understand "search box" and "the string".
so far as I recall the *only* pertinent information you have provided
about your problem is that you see the skulls indicating an image not
where the database believes it to be, that you will not run the provided
script to correct that issue and that you moved subject images to a
different location. we know not what system you run but appears to be a
linux distro, nor the particular version of dt or how installed. it is
kind of like chasing ghosts.
and, if you cannot be bothered to trim all the fluff from this very
verbose msg, I will not respond. you may welcome that but I am quite old
and set in my ways.
