    how do you mass update photo file paths

    Hello

    i have changed computers and the location of my photos has now changed and rather than changing them all manually i was wondering there was a way to do them all together? For example, the file path has changed from

    C:\Users\Sarah\Pictures\Resized sets\violetshamballabracelet&earringssetwhite.jpg

    instead the location is:
    C:\Users\sarahneale\Pictures\Resized sets\violetshamballabracelet&earringssetwhite.jpg

    as you can see it is simply the 'sarahneale' part of the filepath i need to change and it seems a shame to do this by hand since i have alot of products on the website

    I would appreciate any help

    You can export the catalog, update the file paths in Excel using search and replace and then import back in again.

    I suggest you create a sub folder within the site folder for your images instead. You wouldn't have needed to change paths in that case.
