Changing the project's name and moving source folder
Posted: 15 Mar 2013, 02:57
I have 2 questions:
1) Changing project name outside of ETG erases images and description
I have changed the name of an .etg file...a project file and all the images and their description have been deleted from the project.
I have NOT used the File/Save Project As option but rather I have changed the file name in Windows.
I tried renaming the file back, but the images and descriptions are gone.
Question: What do I do to restore image descriptions? I have put a lot of work in those descriptions and I need them back. I don't want to retype them.
2) When source image folder is renamed or moved all image descriptions are lost.
Many times the source folder that contains the images I want to use in my gallery, has the wrong name or is placed in the wrong location on the hard drive.
If I rename that folder or move it after the ETG project has been created and saved, all the image descriptions dissapear from the Image tab when I load that project. There is no way, as far as I see, to point the program to the new location and name of the source image folder.
This is a common occurrence for me and I need to be able to point ETG to the new location and name of a source folder while keeping the image descriptions.
Right now I have to retype all the image descriptions.
Question: When moving a source image folder, or renaming it, how do I point ETG to the new folder location/name, without losing image descriptions already existing in the ETG project.
Thanx a bunch.
