Hi,
I tried to update the paths in a moved project (where the data also
moved). So I opened the project, and it popped up the window where it
asks for the locations of the datafiles (which were not where it
expected them).
I noticed that this window nicely has the option to shift parts of
paths between relative and absolute, seemingly to allow a common
absolute path. This worked ok to some extent...
I was able to shift various path segments from absolute to relative,
and then tried to update the absolute 'root' path to the new location.
Unfortunately, this worked fine for the first dataset that used the
common absolute path, but the next several datasets seemed to have
their relative paths default back to what it was originally, before I
shift parts of paths from absolute to relative. As a result, the paths
are now completely incorrect, and largely missing.
Strangely, this did work fine for some part of the datasets, and I did
not see any error messages on the console. I am sorry that I don't
really have a clearer description of what exactly went wrong, but I am
not really sure.

PS. Schematically:
original setup:
ABSOLUTE RELATIVE
/nfsdrv1/path/path/path/path sub/sub/sub/data1
/nfsdrv1/path/path/path/path sub/sub/sub/data2
/nfsdrv1/path/path/path/path sub/sub/sub1/data3
/nfsdrv1/path/path/pathB/pathB sub/sub/sub1/data4
Desired new setting:
ABSOLUTE RELATIVE
/nfsdrv2/path/path/ path/path/sub/sub/sub/data1
/nfsdrv2/path/path/ path/path/sub/sub/sub/data2
/nfsdrv2/path/path/ path/path/sub/sub/sub1/data3
/nfsdrv2/path/path/ pathB/pathB/sub/sub/sub1/data4
Actual new setting:
ABSOLUTE RELATIVE
/nfsdrv2/path/path/ path/path/sub/sub/sub/data1
/nfsdrv2/path/path/ sub/sub/sub/data2 <==== incorrect!
/nfsdrv2/path/path/ path/path/sub/sub/sub1/data3
/nfsdrv2/path/path/ pathB/pathB/sub/sub/sub1/data4
