Update Links

[Lucia]

I changed some folder names in the path where my project is saved but said "no" to updating the project links. Now, no image is displayed, bacause the link is pointing to the folder's old name. I suppose I can correct it by updating the links, but I can't figure out how to do it. Can anyone help me, please?

Thanks very much.

You always want to have Flare update the links unless there is a really valid reason not to do so, but I cannot think of any. The only chance that you now have is to change the paths in the source files manually. You can use the project wide search & replace in the source code, which should work out OK.
Or you restore the last backup and apply the changes again having the links updated. You did make a recent backup, did you?

I agree, I did it by mistake.

And don't have a backup, unfortunatelly, because it happened the day I created the project (imported from RoboHelp). I'm gonna try reimporting it, as I think will be easier.

Thank you very much.

Change the folder back to its old name.

That should re-link all the files to their old targets.

Then you should be able to rename the folder to its new name, this time, keeping the links intact.

Now that is too easy!

Yeah, well. Some of us had to learn the hard way.

I tried it before askind for help, but for some reason it didn't work either. But I've solved it now.

What was the solution? Did you reimport and try again?

Yes, that was it.
