I'm currently using Tixati. I've found the need to change my database to a server drive and its been a difficult process. I built the database on drive E: which isn't ideal for my local machines (the reason that I did this escapes me). So I changed it to a drive on the server somewhere past N: and there is no way to change all of the entries by simply changing the first letter, from E: to N: for instance and now I've been painstakingly changing every entry or small groups of related entries to the new value, which has been quite tedious.

Am I gong about this incorrectly?  Is there a way to change the drive letter for my existing database on a global scale since the directory structure remains the same as when I built it?

I just thought of this but would a directory link work?  And then I could migrate slowly over time and new entries could be added to the new location?  

Would anyone care to offer suggestions as to how they would go about this process?

This whole thing of not being able to globally change the drive letter of an existing database structure baffles me a bit and this undertaking has been a months long, very tedious affair.... Any advice is welcome especially from you seasoned pros. (And I'm not complaining, I've become quite attached to Tixati).

This probably goes without needing to be said but it would be a wonderful thing to see an option in Tixati to be able to globally change the drive letter to the existing file database in its entirety.

Thanks to all and best regard.

Portable version can change the drive letter automatically (to be usable with flash drives plugged into different computers).

You can try to place Tixati with portable mode .txt on the same drive as your files, move all the configuration files from AppData to that directory, and try checking if it can auto-correct the location to current drive letter when started like that.

I don't know if the new paths are getting permanently stored in database.

Make sure there's nothing of your files and folders left in drive E:, then try this Windows command:
mklink /j E:\old\path N:\new\path
This should create a “portal” at E:\old\path that transparently rewrites all accesses into it to N:\new\path
