"Bulk relink" of attached links

frankweber
In my zotero library I have a lot of entries with an attached link to a file on my hard drive. After switching to a new computer the links are all broken. I know I can repair the links one by one. It would be nice if I could relink all files in one go.
Is there a way to do this?

    The Zutilo add-on has an update link function that works in bulk.

    @frankweber: Note that the way to avoid this in the first place is to set a Linked Attachment Base Directory, so that if you use Zotero on multiple computers or switch to a new one, you just need to update that setting and your linked files will continue to work using their relative paths.

    If you can temporarily create the same folder structure on this computer and move the files there, you can fix this using the base directory setting without using Zutilo.
