Re: Do songs retain Do not show in Songbook when changing computers

After using the Restore Hoster will look for your music files in the same location as they were on the original computer. If they were on an external drive with a volume letter of say "E" then it will look for them on E drive on new computer. If you load all the music files onto your "C" drive then it will be necessary to rebuild.

Which would probably mean clearing the existing list of folders first.
How I would do that is open the Tools/Hoster Datafolder, then close Hoster but keep the data folder open,
delete the "HosterInfoIndexed.ini" file then close the data folder.
Now open Hoster, go to the rebuild dialog, you should now have an empty list of folders, choose rebuild which will build an empty database. Now use the Add Folder or Add Folders/Sub Folders buttons pointing it to your new location, it will then build the new database as you add the folders.
