two wire 2 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) I have spent hours deleting unwanted metadata. As a part of this, I found a movie folder with the wrong movie title and made the corresponding changes to the folder name. I then tried to change the path parameters to this folder and could not find a way to do this using metadata manager. So, I did a rescan thinking it would find the change and correct the path to this folder. I found, instead, all the changes I had made to the numerous folders were restored to their original state Questions: 1. Is it possible to edit the path to folders without a rescan? 2. Is it possible to ignore folders to which changes have been made? Thanks Edited September 22, 2014 by two wire 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14902 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 If an item is mis-identified, you should use the Identify feature to correct it. You cannot change the path to an item via metadata. That is informational in that context as we build your library from the physical paths.

two wire 2 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the reply. I looked at the Identify feature in the Metadata Manager, but I did not see anything that I thought would allow me to change the path name (Folder name). Is there another Identify feature in a different part of the server app? Also, any comment on question 2?

ebr 14902 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 You cannot change the path of an item as that is how we identify it. If you move an item from one place to another it is equivalent to deleting and re-adding it. You said an item was mis-identified because the folder name was not correct. You can correct this situation without changing the folder name by using the identify feature. Once you've done that, the folder name is irrelevant.
