Resyncing settings after moving RAW files to another folder?

I've followed the recent discussion on C1W files but I'm still not sure whether the following is possible:

If I have RAW files that have been moved to a different folder (outside of C1), is it possible to keep the settings that had been developped before the move?

I thought about archiving the settings to the folder before the move, moving the C1W files together with the RAW files and reimporting them later. Does that work if RAW files are now in another folder? Isn't the absolute path stored in the C1W file?

Finally, is there a way to trell which C1W file is from which RAW file? Because in my case, I would move RAW files from one folder to several others...

  photon,
  
  You have this figured out ... proceed.
  
  Yes, you can Save to Archive the .C1w files with the RAWs and move them.
  You will then Restore from Archive upon loading into a Session on another machine. The path is always the Preview Cache location.
  
  
  

  is there a way to trell which C1W file is from which RAW file?

  
  
  Yes there is. The .C1w file name is found at the bottom of the meta data window ( Ctrl + i ) in the row Setting File
  Therefore, Save to Archive the .C1w file with the RAWs for each Session to be moved.
  Once moved to another machine and .C1w files restored, they will always "find each other" .
  
  Sincerely,
  k c

  wait a moment... it seems there is no need to do anything. I can move my NEF file and Capture One recognises it and remembers the settings!
  
  That's cool and I then have found a great way to simplify my workflow.
  
  So, apparently, the RAW-to-settings link does not take the file location in account?
  
  Is that link just based on the name or does it use some CRC? In the latter case, processing the NEF with something like Nikon Capture might break the link...
