Description
I was under the impression from somewhere that this module could convert image nodes created with the image module into cck nodes using the image_field module. I just gave it a try any everything converted beautifully - except there was no image in the image field.
Could this be because my images are stored in a higher level folder on the server (above public_html folder where drupal is installed) for security so they can't be directly accessed by outside website references?
Or is it that there is no support for image file references to get converted into imagefields yet?

You are mistaken. Such functionality doesn't exist. And I am unsure whether it will be added in the future.

Thanks for the reply.
I have to say that I think this functionality would be very helpful for a lot of people out there. I would imagine that all that would be required would be the copying of the address for the image file as listed in the database for the image node into the new node's imagefield.
