Goal:

I'd like to save files without breaking my save settings if the drive letter changes.


Example: This works using environment variables and changing the location setting of my user library folder:

%USERPROFILE%\Videos\YouTube\GrumpyCat_00.mp4

The path above will work no matter the drive letter.


Problem:

I've saved videos files across multiple locations and grouped them into a Videos library; so, I'm not able to use the %USERPROFILE%\Videos directory format.


Question:

Can I use a Library environment variable to save to any folder grouped into that library?


Alternate Consideration:

I've considered using symbolic links inside the Videos folder as an alternative to grouping the videos into a library.

Once I own a media server I think I can use a server directory as the location for (in this instance) Videos and always save using %USERPROFILE%\Videos\(Folder Name) - instead of saving media files on my main computer and trying to consolidate and organize later.
