New page

This may not work on Windows, as I’ve not tested yet. Anyone care to try and let me know?

#Quit kJams.
#Download and install PathFinder or SymbolicLinker.
#Drag and drop the root folder from the source location to the destination location.
#Delete the folder from the source location.
#Using PathFinder (File Menu → Alias → Make Symbolic Link) or SymbolicLinker (right click on File → Make Symbolic Link), make a Symbolic Link of the folder at the destination location.
#Drag it to the source location, so that it seems that the files appear to be in the source location, at the same path.
#If the symlink is still there next to the destination location folder, you can delete it.
#Run kJams, open your Activity window, and wait for any tasks to finish.
#Do a Forced Save (⌘⇧⌥⌃-S) /This will update all the paths in the DB to the new location.
#Delete the symbolic link.
