Research direction
Start by locating the "file no longer exists, keep open?" dialog and the file-handling path triggered when a directory is moved. Trace how the dialog response is applied to multiple open files. Done when the dialog offers "No to All" and "Yes to All" and the choice prevents repeated prompts for the affected files.
