Drive Remapping

All Options tabs are accessible from View → Options Page.

Drive Remapping Standard / Ultra

Map new locations when folders or volumes have moved, or to bridge paths between PC and Mac databases. Just put the source path in the left box and the destination path in the right box.

Example: change D:\OldDrive\SFX\Metal Impacts\ to E:\NewDrive\SFX\Metal Impacts/

Drive Remapping panel

Engage the rule, otherwise it won’t be enabled. Add as many rules as you want with the + icon (lower right).

Commit button

Applies the changes permanently to the database. Best practice: enter the rules, verify files play correctly, then press Commit.

Mac → PC drive letter remap

Mac and PC paths look very different — one has drive letters that change when devices are plugged in (PC), and the slashes are reversed. We create both [folder] (PC) and [path] (Mac) on import, but for unusual setups you’ll need to tell basehead the rest via Drive Remapping.

Example: a drive scanned on Mac that pulls up as G: on PC. Look at the path in the Details Panel — it might be:

\\localhost\FlashDrive\SFX\

To remap to G::

  • Left box: \\localhost\FlashDrive\SFX\
  • Right box: G:\SFX\

Always swap from the very start of the path. Remapping won’t find/replace from the middle of a path.

An Auto-Remap button (top right) helps with this — still a bit beta.
