etransmit crash messed up paths to xref's and blocks

A month or two ago Bricscad crashed during an etransmit command. Paths of referenced files now have 'AppData…eTransmit' in their paths. So, they are not found when I open the drawing I was trying to back up. In other words, trying to back up resulted in corruption of my drawing.

I have been manually fixing the blocks in the Attachments pane (not sure what an attachment is, but blocks reference files there).

The remaining problem is that some xrefs have the wrong path and I can't just browse to the right path. I fear I will have to manually re XATTACH each of these XREF's.

Any suggestions on fixing the XREF paths? I would like to preserve their locations and orientations. I am running V25.2.05(x64) under Win 11 to fix the pathe. I might have done the etransmit under V26, but not sure, probably V25.

    Did you google " Xref change path Autocad lisp" pretty sure there is code out there to do that task.

    One example.
