I am currently experiencing an issue after updating to version 10 for Laserfiche. In prior releases when I would highlight multiple volumes I was able to change all the paths at one time. Unfortunately now after updating to version 10 I am not able to do this. I was wondering if anyone was experiencing this issue.

What do you see now when you select multiple volumes?
Miruna the properties window appears as below
When I make the change it only changes the first selected volume. I went ahead and downgraded the admin console to version 9.2.1 and receive the same issue. In version 9.1.1 I receive an MMC error and the admin console crashes.
Can you clarify what version of the Laserfiche Administration Console you had used previously that allowed you to do this? Note that multiple volumes can't have the same path so I'm not sure how that would have worked previously. The current behavior is what's expected, where it only changes the path of the first selected volume. At the very least though, it shouldn't cause an MMC crash which looks like was an issue before but has since been addressed.
I don't exactly remember the version that it worked on. I believe it was version 9.0.x. If the product is working as is would it be possible to have that ability in the future for the physical roll over volumes?
Hi Cristobal,
You're still going to have a problem because multiple volumes can't have the same path so this isn't something that we'd want to allow.
Can you clarify in complete detail what you are wanting to achieve and how you are envisioning achieving that? Is it to just quickly update a portion of the volume path for multiple volumes at one time, i.e. changing
C:\path1\volume1
C:\path2\volume2
...
to
C:\path2\volume1
C:\path2\volume2
...
If that's something you're looking for because there are many volumes that you're going to be updating similarly, then it might be better to do this in SQL. I'd recommend first copying the volumes to the new location and then stopping LFS, update the paths in the vol table, and then restart LFS.
to elaborate on that, the SQL syntax I've used for this in the past is
Update Vol set fixpath = replace(fixpath, 'C:\Path1', 'C:\Path2') where fixpath like 'C:\Path1%'
And always backup before modifying SQL directly...
Hi,
We are looking to also update the path of aprox 500 volumes.
If we do it in SQL, do we need to do it only in the dbo.vol table or is another place we need to do it?
Thanks
