Hi,

when attaching external devices, they don't always get the same drive letter assigned by Windows. But since the drive letter is hard-coded in FFS' configuration file (as part of the target path), I need to change them manually every time, using one of the following methods (which both are cumbersome):

* Change the drive letter in FFS for every single folder.
* Change the assigned drive letter through Windows Control Panel.

So what I'm suggesting would be a handy feature in FFS' main window to quickly (kind of) "search and replace" all drive letters in the list of selected folders.

I hope you know what I mean :-)

A quick way to change D:\new, D:\clients, D:\old to E:\new, E:\clients, E:\old

Cheers,
Thomas
