The title says it all. I want to move a game to another drive but I can't see a way to do it without uninstalling and reinstalling, which I assume requires another download.

ChrisSD: which I assume requires another download.
Move the files, uninstall the game, import the game to Galaxy (either through scan folders or the game's specific page). May grab a bit more data, but you should be able to move it just fine.
I'd suggest trying it with a smaller game before moving tens of gigs though, just to be on the safe side.

Thanks! It worked quite easily. I cut the folder to the new location, then I did scan folder. It automatically verified the install. Still it would be nice if there was a UI option.

It's a bit tricky because it also has to update registry keys and such.

Fair enough. I thought most games could just re-run the install though?

If you're just moving the folders? Not quite. If you're reinstalling, sure.

If it can figure out how to do that when you move the folder yourself, it's literally only a matter of making a UI option for moving the game folder. Nothing tricky about it.
