Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.I may be out of luck on this one, but you never know.
I didn't realize that image import will not copy images, but actually move them (delete from their old location).
My issue is that i imported from the files directory (moving CCK files into image nodes) but i didn't intend to delete them.
I haven't dug too deep yet, but is there any record of what was imported from where (so I can export them again into the appropriate folders)?
As far as i can tell this info (about deleting files rather than copying) isn't explicit anywhere - README, documentation on site etc - but maybe it is somewhere I just failed to think about checking.

joachim commentedOuch!
Yeah, we should add a warning.
Comment #2
joachim commentedThe page admin/content/image_import says:
> The files will be moved from their location into the image module's files directory. Searching for image files in /Users/joachim/Sites/event-drupal.
I think that's clear enough.

scottrigby@joachim: yes, you are right. It wouldn't hurt to add to the readme too, but I agree this is pretty clear - i just didn't see it.
