I have made the gross mistake of moving some photo assets to my Network drive and the result has been a dramatic drop of speed when using rw, specially when switching windows or when switching between apps.

Found no way to relocate assets within RW (meaning: tell rw to select some assets, move those to another location and update file links): if It’s me being blind, I’d love to be guided to the right spot.

Tried to force relocation by switching off the network drive: as a result RW is stuck trying to access a drive that does not exists but, as for now, does not exit from this state (15 mins and going: I am starting to guess that I will get a single error message for every single asset that is missing)

any hint? thanks in advance. 🥵
