Missing loops and files not found after replacing

Post by Manestra » Thu Aug 05, 2010 1:37 pm

When I started with Ableton I thought I should work with an external HD for DJ-ing - but now I see that's easier for me to work without an external HD. So I copied all my loops an tracks from the external HD to my laptop HD.

Whe I started the projects, off course, Ableton said "missing files". So I helped my Ableton and said where the files are on my HD. Worked.
All the clips I had in my project from before were running again.

BUT: the clips I had in my library still say: missing files. So I have the clips and loops in my library - but the referencing mp3 or wav files will not be found - even when I "re-found" it in several projects.

But with clips in the library I have to "re-link" the clips with the mp3 and wav files each time again - with every project it starts again.

How can I link the clips in the library with the sound files they're referencing to in general, so that it don't have to do it again, and again, and again?
