I am a beginner with FP...

 

I have built a 4.000 pictures database (the pictures are only referenced, not stored in the database). If I move the referenced container field image to a new folder it obviously disapears from the FM container field.

 

I would like to edit the link in order to be able to move the pictures from my local disk to my Lacie external disk. avoiding to re-attach the file by navigating to its location in the appropriate dialog, picture by picture...

 

I have made a test using ALIAS but it seems that the so called pointers bypass it.

 

Is there a way to access and then globally edit (with a script ?) the referenced external image path to allow for the images to reappear in the Filemaker container field?

 

Thanks for your help !
