Hi Paul, Depending on how many projects you have, you can also copy the project directories to the new location and then import the projects in the GUI. In the menu bar, there is a Projects menu item and under that menu, there is an "Import project" item. You will want to remove the existing projects from the database first. If you have many projects, there is a command-line tool called "phenix.import_project". The arguments are the project directory and the Phenix GUI database directory. On macOS, the Phenix GUI database is located in ~/Library/Preferences/Phenix. On linux, the database is in ~/Phenix. And on Windows, it is ~\Application Data\Phenix. Before doing anything, you should back up this directory. Let me know if you need help with setting up a script to import many projects. Thanks! -- Billy K.

HI Paul,

You can move files under Phenix Projects / Move Project. Perhaps this will suffice.

Hi,

Does anyone have instructions I can follow for how to move all of my phenix directories to a new location without messing up all of the file paths in each project.

Our IT department wants to relocate files on our server which will change all of the top directory locations to something new so before that happens I think there is a way I can have a file that will allow me to recreate all of the phenix projects in the GUI with the new file paths but I can’t recall how to do it.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Best wishes,

Paul
