Hi, we need to port over a project to another machine, unfortunately all links are broken since the file structure are changed and relative paths were not used when setting the project up
The project ist merged from three different projects and is 70% absolute paths and 30% paths to small pdf files that tropy probably created, when large pdf files were imported, and then single pages where associated with tropy items. These small pdf files all look like this:
/assets/e058b1eefc37c4ce177d29a73e45eec4.pdf
Now for fixing them, the 30% paths to the assets folder are probably all unsalvagable since other than the original files we do not have these small files anymore.
Regarding the 70% absolute paths, I intend to write a script that grabs the paths and filenames from the tropy-file, search for the file names in the new folder structure, and generate sql commands that adjust the paths. This should work since ALL filenames are unique and have not changed so I can auto-correct all these paths
But - are there side-effects from this? Can this go wrong and fuck up the project in ways I may not even see until it is too late?
