This has recently started to happen to me too. My projectlocations.txt
file says \\dsnitris-dna\ds_projects_1
My ignorance may be showing but that doesn't look like the path to my F
drive where the DS projects folder lives. What should the txt file say?
It's a UNC path to the machine - ds_projects_1 should be a share to your
F:\DS Projects folder (or wherever it is).... if you look at it, it should
have the little hand icon under it and if you pull up the sharing properties
for the folder, you should see that share name. "dsnitris-dna" is the name
of your computer on the network.
The reason it's stored like this (and not the local path with drive letter)
is to make it agnostic; Any machine on the same network can access that
particular folder via the same exact path. This is for times when the
indexers might not be on the same computer; For instance at my place we
have 3 DSes and the Project Indexer runs on a totally separate 4th machine
and keeps track of the projects on the other 3.
