Manlyman Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Can it be done, if so how? Out of space so want to put on bigger drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manlyman Posted December 29, 2019 Author Share Posted December 29, 2019 Think I just figured it out, hopefully. If not then I will have fubared the library install. Will soon find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Hi There is a user guide for Orbx Central found in settings/help/user guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manlyman Posted December 29, 2019 Author Share Posted December 29, 2019 Step 3 says this, " Remove the library that you would like to move (remember: this doesn’t delete the actual files). " Remove it from where? Within the libraries settings I have an edit option. Or do I move the folder on the current drive to new drive. Kind of confusing!

Nick Cooper Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Hello, in the library box in Orbx Central, the top section is simply the name that you give to the library. It can be virtually anything, to suit yourself. The lower box is the path to the library folder. To move a library, first remove the library from Orbx Central. As it states, this does nothing to the files. Then move the entire library folder, the one that contains all the files, making sure not to disturb the contents of the folder at all. Once moved, create a new Orbx Central library, giving it a name of your choice but also the exact path to the new location in which you have placed the library folder.

Manlyman Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 Well I guess I'm missing something! The only options I have is, edit, delete or create new library. I understand about the path where I currently have my library. I'm not understanding "first remove the library from Orbx Central". I guess I'm not the smartest tool in the shed. Remove it how?

Nick Cooper Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Hello, the Orbx Central user guide does explain what to do. Here is the relevant extract. It states the same as I did and if you start and get stuck, please come back and ask the specific question that you need the answer to so that you can move on to the next stage. Moving a library to another location Moving a library is painless with Central and can be achieved in a few steps only: Go to Settings > Libraries. Note the directory of the library you’d like to move. Remove the library that you would like to move (remember: this doesn’t delete the actual files). Close Central by right-clicking on the tray and selecting “quit”. Move the directory to the new location in your operating system. This step may take a while depending on your disk speed. Start Central again Open Settings, and then the Libraries page Press ‘Create New Library’ Select the new library location, give it a name and then press ‘Save’. Central will automatically scan the library for installed products, and then configure your simulators appropriately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
