Moving Folders ALWAYS causes an unhandled exception/error

My tv library is spread across several hard disks and from time to time I need to move entire series from one hard disk to another.

Whenever this happens, the folder paths in TvRename become incorrect which means the program cannot find the shows.

However, instead of telling me this, the program simply crashes in an unexplained way when I click "scan" and it reaches the "media library check" phase of the process.

This is especially bad on shows where I have added in manual/additional folders on the second tab of the description page.

The number one issue:

Tvrename simply crashes when it cannot find a specified folder AND DOES NOT TELL ME WHICH FOLDER IT CANNOT FIND.

I therefore have to manually go through the list of tv shows trying to figure out where the program is getting confused.

Solution:

Just pop me up a window when this happens that says "tvrename cannot find folder XXXXXX" and then terminate the search. I can manually go i and fix this, but it is hard to do when I have to visually check all of the paths without knowing where the problem happened.

This problem has existed at least since 2.2.0b3 (and I am currently on 2.2.0b9, but have had the same problem on 2.2.0b5 and 2.2.0b7)

Love the program, but this error happens to me all the time and is extremely frustrating. I think it is a simple fix from the dabbling I have done in computer programming (i.e. handling exceptions and throwing codes)

I have complained about this for while.

The only solution I have found has 2 choices.
manualy delete each show you move off the shows list before running a folder scan.

If you move a lot of files the best way is to just copy down any changes in the tvrename options you make. then delete all the tvrename data files in userdata.

then run the program put you paths back in put you source back in any options you change then run a folder scan. It will have to download all the cache again and show info.

It would be nice if it kept the show data in separate file from the tv file then you might not have reenter all the settings and re-download.
