Session Albums absolute folder path?

I have a problem with Session Albums (not Smart Albums).
(Windows)

I store a particular session on D:\Photo\201704_sessionname\ with regular session folders (Capture, Output, and so on) inside.
Inside this session i have created a few Albums to sort pictures.

After an editing and exporting necessary pictures i moved it to another drive (D:\ is pretty fast but not-so-big SSD) - simply copies to F:\ new path became F:\Photo\201704_sessionname
Previously, if i needed some files from this session - i can simply open it and work with it on new location.
But in C1 V10 i've discovered two things:

Firstly, C1 shows an image placeholders ('The selected picture is either unavailable or... bla-bla-bla') in Browser in EVERY album - like i moved/deleted this files outside of C1.
If i choose a folder F:\Photo\201704_sessionname\Capture\Foldername - it shows all needed pictures (and all others too).
So, C1 ruined my sorted by albums principle.

Secondly, i've discovered, that in old session location - D:\Photo C1 created AN EMPTY folder structure D:\Photo\201704_sessionname\Capture - presumably trying to find 'missed' files there - like Album feature uses now Absolute and non Relative path?

Hi

did you ever get a fix or workaround for this?

I think I have the same problem... 2 years of images all imported using *tokens* into sub-folders of the 'capture' session folder ( ie capture folder/ *Model* / *Format*/).

The C1 created sub-folders are NOT portable (even though the parent capture folder itself is set to relative, these sub-folders a definitely being treated as absolute)

I need to work out a way to move these to an external drive without destroying the links to the images...

any pointers?

thanks

Nope.
On Luminous Landscape forum they say there is right click menu option Folder Info where i can change Absolute to Relative but for many old session i cannot.
