[phenixbb] Migrating all phenix projects to a new location without breaking all of the file paths.

[Billy Poon]

Hi Paul,

Depending on how many projects you have, you can also copy the project
directories to the new location and then import the projects in the GUI.
In the menu bar, there is a Projects menu item and under that menu, there
is an "Import project" item. You will want to remove the existing projects
from the database first.

If you have many projects, there is a command-line tool called
"phenix.import_project". The arguments are the project directory and the
Phenix GUI database directory. On macOS, the Phenix GUI database is located
in ~/Library/Preferences/Phenix. On linux, the database is in ~/Phenix. And
on Windows, it is ~\Application Data\Phenix. Before doing anything, you
should back up this directory. Let me know if you need help with setting up
a script to import many projects. Thanks!
