Description

When I want to move or rename files, they inevitable become unlinked. However, the only method of relinking files is the "Search & Relink" option, which doesn't work if the file name was changed, or matches a different file's name.

Solution

Add a menu where the user can go through each unlinked entry and select the file the entry is supposed to be linked to. I imagine it as a grid of all of the unlinked entries where, when clicking on the unlinked entry, it opens the file browser and will link to the file the user selects. Of course, it should have checks for if an entry is already linked to the file to prevent duplicate entries.

Alternatives

Currently, I've had to go through the database and manually update each entry with the new path and filename. This isn't exactly something a user should be expected to do.
