I created the "Photos" column in the attribute table. Each line contains a unique path to a specific photo. For example:
D:/.../IMG0031.JPG
D:/.../IMG0048.JPG
Now I need to replace the path for each photo from drive D to drive C.
C:/.../IMG0031.JPG
C:/.../IMG0048.JPG
At the same time, the right side in each line should not change! What function should I use?
In the field calculator, you can use the replace function.
You could just replace the drive letter or also change the folder structure.
replace(src,'D:/','C:/')
replace(src,'D:/a/b/c','C:/x/y')
If the renaming is slightly more complex, I suggest saving the renamed path on a new column as errors could lead to hard to recover (or just unrecoverable!) data.
