I may have misused terminology mapping inadvertently.  I'll use a simpler use case here. 

I have a directory on my windows machine and I want it to be where my elements User Collection stores its files.  I have tried to make a shortcut called elements that points to a copy of the qet\elements directory and put it in the  C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\qet to replace the default elements directory which I renamed.  

Then running QElectroTech recreates a new elements directory and I end up with a new empty elements directory and a shortcut named elements. And the program shows an empty User Collections.  I can easily get my collection back by deleting the new elements directory and rename the original directory back to elements.  So it appears that it is not using a text path but maybe something similar to Google Drive sync which uses the inodes which is why you can move a Dropbox folder to a new machine but not a Google Drive folder .

On the Windows machine and the MAC I am using Google's Drive application which actually copies Drive's files locally and keeps them in sync when there are any changes.  Its not actually a networked mapping.

Maybe what I want to do can't be done in this program and I would have to make a script that copies those files to the qet\elements directory then runs the program.  And I would need to make an exit script which writes new elements to the other directory at the close of the program.

Thanks,
