Smart Content remapping

Joe Webb

I've moved my library to an external drive and changed the links relatively easily but still have some issues. Nearly all the items show up in Smart Content and all show up in the Content Library tab. How do I relink the items that don't show in the Smart Content tab?  For example, Michael 4 base is in the Content Library but the link is broken in the Smart Content. Its not a major problem but it would be easier if everything was linked properly.

try re-importing your metadata.

re-importing my metadata didn't work. That is, righ click on the Smart Content tab, check the box "re-import metatdata" and wait for files to reimport. It still brought in most, but not all, the files.

It does recognize I have it, since it does come up with a broken link in the smart content tab. But when I try to open it in a scene it an error message, saying it doesn't exist. But it is giving the old path, to my internal drive. This is for Michael 4 btw.

It does have a (2)Michael 4 under the broken link, so maybe it thinks I have 2 of the files? In any case I can still get to it because it shows up in the Content tab, so I'm wondering how to make that Smart Tab link map like the link in the Content tab.

OK, never mind. I accidently hit Reset Database. So all my stuff vanished. I reimported it again, and violá, there he is, link all fixed.
