Is there a utility or script that can help locating project file content that is 'broken' when the disk drive structure changes?

This is related to the FAQ topic: "Where did my images go?"

My case involves trying to reuse project files where the content was in parallel folders, as opposed to strictly sub folders. The nature of the image
content relationships, and use by many different projects, dictated the structure that had been used. For some reason, the project files are not able
to see the relative folder locations, perhaps the root folder was hard coded.

Is there a way to list and edit the asset locations in the project files?

Moho project files are just JSON text zipped up.

So, you can for example rename your project to MyProject.moho.zip and then open/extract that, which will give you a Project.mohoproj file.

You can then view/search that text file to get a reference to where the assets were. You could search for .jpg or .png for example.

Note: You may need to rename the Project.mohoproj file to Project.mohoproj.json for some editors/viewers to work with it better.

Just took a look at one, and sure enough C:\my\old\folder\structure is there
That is likely enough to search & replace a fix for each project.

Thank you so much!!

Note for anyone else following with the same issue, the Windows \ slash is replaced with / slash in the project files, so you'll find C:/foldertop/foldersub
