Migrating images & gems

[David A. Bayly]

Pictures are easy; the masters are always in the website tables if 
you uploaded them thru Manila originally.  The copies in the static 
folder are duplicates, so you need to tell Manila not to use the url 
to the dumped files. There's no way to do from Manila as far as i 
know, but my Manilafixer plugin can do it.

Gems are never placed in the website table, so you are out of luck. 
You will need to upload them again, effectively making new gems. 
Unless  someone else has a tool for that. manilafixer can load a 
folder worth of files that placed into the gems folder manually (or 
by FTP) but the names it generates will likely not match your 
existing gems, so that doesn't help.
