All of my IMCEimage fields I had using version 5 disappeared from their content types upon upgrading to version 6. The 5 field names still exist and can not be reused in 6. Is there anything that can be done to update these old version fields? I am using IMCEimage to include author images on newsletter articles, so I have accumulated many nodes and am not looking forward to re-editing all of them. I followed CCK's guide to updating from 5 to 6, but maybe there was some other steps I could have taken.

Please help!
Thanks in advance

I mainly develop in Drupal 6, do you know how to upgrade and can write a patch for that?

Unfortunately I don't know how to write a patch. I ended up creating an imce field_type with IMCE version 6 and then moved the data from the old columns to the new columns. It seems like it may be possible to move these columns entirely during the upgrade. The old version of IMCE (5.x) created a table with columns outside the content type tables, whereas the new version (6.x) creates the columns within the content type table that uses it. Forgive the improper use of terms when describing a database system. If anyone would like to take a crack at this I am happy to offer more detail if it would help.

sorry - but 5.x was not a supported release. if you have a large volume of images - contact me at drupal@hyrme.com and I can see how I can help you move them over - but it may need some database manipulation.
