After directory rename, Frescobaldi doesn't show PDF

2020-07-03 Thread David F.
macOS 10.14.6 Frescobaldi 3.1.2 I was working on a song in Frescobaldi. After renaming the directory that the song is in Frescobaldi no longer shows the PDF for the song after engraving. Does Frescobaldi keep track of what PDF file belongs to what input file? Can that information be flushed?
