Hi folks.

I have a large number of images (460GB) which are on my :C Drive. Many of these images have qimage non destructive edits applied. I would like to move everything (keeping the same folder structure) to a new external HDD. I know that I can open folders and use qimage menu to move images, but that process is very slow for thousands of files. If I transfer all the files to the new external HDD first (keeping the same folder structure), is there a way I can maintain all of the non-destructive qimage edits and apply them to the re-located images? I know some applications create seperate files inside the image folder, where they store the edit information but I don't see those with QI. Am I right to assume these are all stored in the qimage database? Can I (for example) copy this database in to the new drive to maintain all the edit data?

Sorry if this info has already been provided. I was unable to find anything in search Smiley

Kin regards John

Each pictures edit file (.flt file) should be in the same folder as the image itself.  So should move with it.

Mel's answer is correct.  All the non-destructive edits are in the same folder as the images.  We have *.flt files from the image editor and if you've done any raw refines, those will be *.qrs files (also stored in the folders with the original images).  So as long as you copy all files in the image(s) folder, you'll get all of the Qimage edits.

Regards,
Mike
