Moveable media at last

Quote from Pat Jones on 2021-02-09, 2:09 amI've just noticed that in RM8 the media table no longer has hard coded drives and folders but a relative path from the media directory defined in the settings.
This makes it so much easier to move RM data between computers or drives and has been on the wishlist for a very long time.

And as the folder path is set in the media table at conversion time, the correct root folder needs to be set in RM before the file is converted from RM7 to RM8.
