Fixing broken "link to file" after hdisk crash/ pdf library move

I keep an external pdf library I link to in zotero by the "link to file" feature. After a recent disk crash I moved the library to another location but now zotero did not update the links. So I'm trying to do that manually.

However, when I click on the "Show File" button in zotero I understandably get a "File Not Found" window with "Ok" and "Locate..." buttons. When I click either one the window goes away and nothing else happens. Is this the correct functionality?

How do I see/edit/update broken "link to file" entries in the attachments section of Zotero? Is there already a thread on this?

    When you click the "Locate" button in the "File Not Found" window you should be prompted to chose the replacement file. I just tried this on both a Mac and a PC and it worked fine for me. Can you check the Report Errors option from the Actions menu? If there are errors, please send in the report and mention the Report ID in this thread.
