One way sync from a folder to UR

[kinook]

One option would be to leverage relative paths:

1) Create folder C:\UR\New ebooks\books

2) Create .urd file at C:\UR\New ebooks

3) When importing the folder C:\UR\New ebooks\books, the URLs of folders/files imported from there will be stored relative (i.e., books\path\to\file.ext)

4) If New ebooks is renamed to Old ebooks 2019, the links will still be valid, or if the .urd file is moved to another path C:\UR\old ebooks 2019, which has a subfolder 'books', the relative paths will still match up with files in the relative subfolder.

The other option would be to use SQLite tools to mass update attribute values. See https://kinook.com/Forum/showthread.php?t=2825

Thanks @kinnok. I thought myself of your first solution (relative paths).
The fact in my case is that I usually have a folder structure like this

C:\UR\New ebooks\ (1)
C:\UR\Old ebooks 2019\ (2)
etc.

Then as time goes by the folder "New ebooks" becomes (2), i.e. "Old ebooks YYYY", etc.
I would like to have UR that keeps track of both (1) and (2), so its database is placed in folder UR. In this way, it exploits relative paths (no need to know the letter of the HDD), but I would still need to change the URL folder name from (1) to (2) when time comes.

I will look into your second method then. Thanks again.

Ability to perform one-way sync is implemented in v6.1. See https://www.kinook.com/Forum/showthread.php?t=5097 for details (SyncDirection).
