resolved Library migration

[rick66]

I have both v4 an v5 Orbx library setup outside of both versions of P3d in one shared folder as created by Central on my D: ssd, V5 P3d is installed on my m.2 drive F: and i wanted to move the v5 library also to the same drive. Can i make a new folder and drop my v5 files into this and will Central recognise it, or do i need to create the library first using Central then drag the v5 contents into it. I am OCD about keeping things together...

Hello,

here is what to do.

 

1. Go to Settings > Libraries.
2. Note the directory of the library you’d like to move.
3. Remove the Orbx Central library that you would like to move (remember: this doesn’t delete the actual files).
4. Close Central by right-clicking on the tray and selecting “quit”.
5. Create a new and empty directory in the new location.
6. Start Central again
7. Open Settings, and then the Libraries page
8. Press ‘Create New Library’
9. Select the new library location, give it a name and then press ‘Save’.
10. Move the files from your original library into the new location. DO NOT amend the file structure. This step may take a while depending on your disk speed.
11. Delete the original library and all of its files from your disk drive.
