I have a long movie (hundreds of assets) successfully produced with Elements 15. Now I must move the project to a separate computer having a different folder organization. I intend to change the path references in the prels to their new values using a text utility. I also use TextWrangler to examine them and TextWrangler is able to convert the files to plain text for display as the XML's they really are. However, the actual prel files are somehow compressed and cannot be treated directly by the utility text converter.
Question is: what form of compression is used in the prel files? If I know that, I can preliminarily convert to plain text, then apply the new path references, and finally recompress the result back to the native prel format.
Thank you for whatever information you can provide.
