I’m also pulling my hair out with this general content move/redirector problem. I spent a whole day reorganising content as I have a lot of materials, meshes and textures that have been collected over time and I wanted a neat and organised reference library. I spent another day trying to recover everything that broke and finally gave up. I’ve tried the fix redirectors thing, but that didn’t work. Too late obviously since I had assumed empty folders were empty… and so deleted them out of the file system, so lost all the redirectors. Most of my meshes have now blank textures, and there’s no way I can go through them all and re-link them without wasting days!!
Man this sucks.
I believe it is called bug UE-1206 … but what’s worse is that’s it was raised and logged a year ago on UE4AnswerHub… and still not fixed.
:-/
Anyway… Unreal… can you give this bug a higher priority pretty please?
