If these are only a handful of folders that were re-named, I’d try to figure out which on a case-by-case basis and then rename the folders in the database one-by-one. For example, if you find a photo that’s not opening in Tropy, make a note of its filename, then search in Finder for that file to find out it’s current location; compare it to the old one to find out which folder was renamed, and update all photos with a matching path.
For a fully automatic alternative, we have a find photos script. Basically, it works like this:
- You point the script at your project file and at a folder, for example at
/Volumes/LaCie Hale/Research photos - The script will now scan the entire folder and all its sub-folders and compute checksums for each photos
- It will then compare those checksums with all the photos in your project and update the paths for all files where a checksum matches
This script will work whether you renamed folders or even the files themselves.
