Can't replace same images from renamed project folder

Hi,

I'm in a tricky situation where the project folder has been renamed on the server. I am aware that any folder and subfolder's name have to be final before storing any files inside to be use in Storyline, however, this wasn't done ahead of time. Long story short, all links are broken for all the images and audio voice over for all the modules. Just to clarify, the main folder (the project folder) is the only file folder that is renamed. Every file that reside inside the project folder (Storyline files, image folders and all it's images, audio folders and all it's audio files) still is the same original file names. Technically if the project folder kept the original name, all image/audio links are perfectly fine.

I tried replacing the images within the renamed project folder (by either right clicking to replace image and using the Media Library to replace), but in both cases, it just refuses to "forget" the original directory. I'm hoping i don't have to import all the images and audio from scratch, which is the obvious method that works, but it's a lot of work for 6 courses.  Any recommendation would be appreciated?

  • Ok, I think I am on my own on this, I still hope there's an alternative, because I find it really odd Storyline just refuses to forget the previous directory when I try to replace with the same image and audio, just now the main project folders name is renamed. Any advice or thoughts still appreciated.
