Hi,
after returning to my office from home office, I ran into a filepath issue while trying trying to continue on projects I started from home.
I have a slightly different drive arrangement and folder structure at home and some of the linked assets inside the scene come from outside the $HIP folder, others, probably mostly due to my incompetence use absolute filepaths even inside the $HIP folder, so the File and Texture nodes aren't finding the files they're supposed to.
Is it possible to change the filepaths all in one place instead of having to go inside of every Geo Node and MatNet?
Pre-flight seemed like the logical place to start looking, but I was unable to find a way to overwrite the locations of individual linked files, that had incorrect file-paths.
Any tip on how to do this in an intelligent manner, or how to avoid such troubles in the future (apart from a standardized drive-naming scheme and folder structure) would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Ivan

You can try opfind and opchange:
You can use opfind first to see what it finds before you do the opchange.
If there is an env var, you have to protect it:
This is also explained briefly in this tutorial [www.sidefx.com].
opchange /my/stinky/old/path /my/shiny/new/path
You can use opfind first to see what it finds before you do the opchange.
opfind /my/stinky/old/path
If there is an env var, you have to protect it:
opchange \$MYSTINKYOLDVAR/geo \$MYNEWVAR/geo
