- 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.
