My existing Folder collection is like
Volumes/XYZ/A7C2/Different dates pictures taken/Raw files
so it will show me something like
2025-01-19 (4)
2025-01- 21 (25)
and so on which goes to 2024
I have moved this collection from Volumes/XYZ to Volumes/ABC
now when I open Darketable it shows me all the Date wise collections but it is strikes out and it asks me to point it where it is now for each individual dates.
Is there a way where I can say that now the collection instead of drive XYZ is located on drive ABC with the same structure?
The full paths to the folders of the film rolls are stored in the database library.db, table film_rolls, column folder. If you have SQL skills, you can make the desired changes directly on the database using sqlite3 (one single SQL command). I am not aware of a corresponding option directly from darktable UI.
You can right-click the top level collection, which will give you an option to pick the new location. Probably easiest if you use folder collections and set a sufficient number of folder levels to show.
Thanks for your reply but as I had already copied the whole collection on a new bigger drive I simply deleted the whole collection in DT and added the new collection by “Add to library” in the import module by simply Adding the new location and as I had all the xmp files the process was very fast and easy.
But I still think there should be an easy solution in DT
