10.1.1 relink files in batch

Question

is there a way to relink files in batch? I have 1500 red files to relink. It would be nice if FCP would search through a folder and localize the files - I don't want to have to find them one by one. Any ideas?

Hi,
try this:
var myDoc = app.activeDocument,
myDocPath = myDoc.filePath,
myLinks = myDoc.links.everyItem().getElements(),
p, a = [], myArt, myArtName, myArtLocation;
for ( p = 0; p < myLinks.length ; p++) {
     myArt = myLinks[p];
     myArtName = myArt.name;
     myArtLocation = File(myDocPath + "/Links/" + myArtName);
     if (!myArtLocation.exists) {
          a.push(myArtName);
          continue;
     switch (myArt.status) {
          case LinkStatus.LINK_MISSING:
               myArt.relink (myArtLocation); break;
          case LinkStatus.LINK_OUT_OF_DATE:
               myArt.update(); break;
          case LinkStatus.NORMAL: break;
          default: alert ("Can't relink " + myArtName); break;
if (a.length > 0) a = "Files not found in 'Links' folder:\r" + a.join("\r");
else a = "OK. Done!";
alert (a);
