Batch Rename for "Full Path" In the History

Post by Toygun »

Hello Dear Support,

I have an idea.

I read a few topics about "sessions". I think the contents of session files are closed to editing and modification. Besides, sessions are useless if any folder names (in which files are located) are changed.

I noticed something. Opened files appear in the "History" section. In addition, "file paths" are also stored. An option such as "change file paths" or "change files paths in bulk" can be added here. Thus, if the folders change, the sessions can be recovered by renaming the paths of the files. Or, these features can be added to change the paths of files stored in session (.xcesession) files .

Have a nice day.

Hi, Toygun

Though we do not currently plan to implement a bulk change paths option, in regards to sessions specifically, you can make use of the "store relative paths" feature of session files, and then so long as the session file itself is in the same relative location to the original files, this would not be an issue:

I hope that helps!
