Yes. show parent folder and then relink the parent. done. :) Glad it worked out ok!
I don't think you can relink the previews. You don't have to generate them all. its just a cache anyways. once you get to your max preview cache size it starts deleting older previews. don't worry about the previews so much. unless you have a large set to work on at once, then you can just simply regenerate the previews for that set to speed things up. It will generate previews on the fly. On Wed, Apr 18, 2018 at 9:02 AM, Rick Womer <rickpic...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks for the advice.
