old image files: changing directory / thumbnails

[Zirbelholz]

I have a large number of image files plus thumbnails (and a few text pdfs) imported from MT, all in one directory which I hoped would temporarily work but doesn't.

I want to move these image files into another directory and correct the links in a SQL dump.

Here is an example:

original: <a href="http://www.margaret-marks.com/Transblaw ... es/van.jpg" etc.
(elsewhere: src="http://www.margaret-marks.com/Transblaw ... -thumb.jpg")
S9y equivalent:
src:"/uploads/trivia/Jaehn_kl.serendipityThumb.jpg"

(A file van-thumb.jpg also exists)


What can I do here? If I change the directory reference to /uploads/MT_archives/Jaehn.jpg' it will work if I create the MT_archives directory first and the Jaehn.jpg exists.

What about the thumbnail? Will the MT thumbnail work as a thumbnail in S9y? It seems too much to hope.
