| Summary | 0020259: It's not possible to Remap network files with broken links to a non-discoverable network path | ||||
| Description | Here's the situation: I've changed my network configuration and as a result, my music serever is now at a different IP address, so all tracks that were at 192.168.x.y can no longer be accessed via MMW (though they are accessible via Windows explorer). I tried to fix this in MMW5, but all functionality that's designed for this doesn't seem to work: 1) Media Properties dialog isn't enabled for network paths 2) Navigation to Music>Location>Network>\\192.168.x.y in the Tree and pressing F2 and renaming it to \\192.168.a.b results in an error "Cannot rename directory \\192.168.x.y to \\192.168.a.b." 3) Locate moved/missing files doesn't work because entering a path \\192.168.a.b\Music\ (or any variants thereof) and then clicking [ADD] does nothing I would have expected any of the above 3 approaches to work. OR am I overlooking something obvious? Note: - I've logged into the network path via Explorer, so access rights should not be an issue | ||||

2&3) Fixed in 2819 |

1) Media Properties should allow users to change: a) Local drive to Local drive (this works) b) Mapped drive to Mapped drive (this works) c) Mapped drive to UNC Path (doesn't work) d) UNC Path to UNC Path (doesn't work) e) UNC Path to Mapped drive (doesn't work) f) UNC Path to local drive (doesn't work) g) Local drive to UNC Path (doesn't work) Media Properties is the easiest method of doing this switching (and users do complain UNC Paths can't be don this way). 2&3 Verified on 2819. |
