Create flexible Search Path in KRX file for Re-use parts? NX 11

Below is a Typical KRX file for the Re-Use Library.
As you build your own library over the years sometimes you want to give it a face lift.
But when you change the folder structure, the parts already deployed into jobs cant find their parent part.
so you need to re-link them as you run across them.

Isn't there a way to apply Load Options type logic for the "Part Location" Line in the below code??
There you can end a path statement with ... and all the sub-folder content is searched.

Something like this at the "Part Location=" line below
<Part Location="C:\NX_Tooling\System\Library\Inch\Commercial\Fasteners...Dowel_Pin_Strait_in.prt"/>

Or is there a "Path" Line that can be added??


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<KnowledgeReuse>
<ItemData>
<Part Location="C:Dowel_Pin_Strait_in.prt"/>
<DataFile Location="Dowel_Pin_Strait_in.xlsx"/>
<DetailImage Location="Dowel_Pin_Strait_in.bmp"/>
</ItemData>
</KnowledgeReuse>

NX should be using the common load options to find the part., or ?
and, remember if you end a line there like this C:\NX_Tooling\System\Library\Inch\Commercial\Fasteners[highlight #FCE94F]...[/highlight]
the three ... means "search all directories below this directory".

Tomas
