Topic: Moving library to new drive - file operations, move
I'm trying to transfer my library to a larger external drive. However, when I use the file operation "move to..." nothing seems to happen. When I start the move to option, and select the new drive location, I don't see activity on my computer.

Is there a way to fix?

I'm pretty sure you can just clone the drive contents (keeping the folder structure, especially the VirtualDJ folder with the database.xml file in it) and maybe possibly keeping the same drive name), with any clone tool, to the new, larger drive and use that new drive in place of the old ome without issue with VirtualDJ (which may possibly be much faster/less error prone, depending on the clone tool used, than trying to manually move files).

Always make backups before doing this too.

Yeah, warning to other djs, I stupidly went into this using the "move" and not clone. I now appear to be missing files on the old drive that is not on the new one.
