Abstract
A method for synchronizing file paths associated with computer files based on file path modifications is provided. The method may include detecting a file path modification to a referenced file path associated with a computer file. The method may also include identifying a type of the file path modification. The method may further include identifying a generated file path based on the type of the file path modification. Additionally, the method may include synchronizing the referenced file path to the generated file path. The method may also include modifying the file path information associated with the computer file. The method may further include generating association information in a file properties window associated with the referenced file path and the at least one generated file path. The method may also include validating and extracting the file path information associated with the computer file for use by at least one application.
