I just moved all my PSE8 contents to a new computer using backup and restore, and it worked fine. however, the directory structure on the new computer isn’t ideal; PSE uses the whole “documents/settings…” structure from the source location, which creates a bit of a convulted structure. it works, but its messy. I’d like to change it. I can think of two ways of doing it but would like some recommendations and thoughts before i proceed.
1. Use the “move” command to take logical groupings of photos and move them to a different file/directory structure. I know this will work, but it can be a bit tedious.
2. just move the files to the new directory strucutre, and let PSE find them using “reconnect.” not sure how automated this will be or if i will have to “browse and find” each file. i’ve never been too impressed with “reconnect”
thoughts?
