recreate nfo without loosing manual metadata modification?

I had to change the metadata folder path and now I need to have all of my .nfo's updated with the new path substitution. Is there anyway way to trigger a .nfo recreation? I've tried to delete some .nfo's and triggered a library scan but this does not create missing .nfo's.

The problem is, that I have manually edited uncountable metadata informations by hand and I don't want to loose these changes by refreshing the metadata. And opening the metadata editor for eachs single library item is...... a job for years.

 

Could you guys add the recreation of the nfo - if missing and nfo export is enabled - in the library scan task?

There currently isn't and yes that is something that could be looked at.

 

For an immediate solution you may want to consider a text editor that can do bulk search and replace recursively in your media folders.

Yes, but I have to deal with RegEx, because my paths are stored in Linux style with / and it has to be \. And RegEx and I are not the best friends. 

 

Another option would be to offer a new option in the metadata update pull down menu -> "rewrite nfo"

Yes that's feasible.
