 * Kawamori san,
 * I am building a multisite, and would like to consolidate the media folder of 
   site 1 and 2.
 * I first copied the contents of folder 2 onto folder 1, then ran this plugin on
   site 1, which worked fine.
 * Now I want to do the same and run it on site 2, so I specified the folder as “
   wp-content/uploads” n the setting pane, but as I click on search, it changes 
   back to “wp-content/uploads/sites/2” by itself, and can’t find the items.
    I 
   even deleted the “/2” folder, but it is still pointing to it.
 * Do you have any suggestions?

 * In the case of multi-site, it is specified to search media folder of logged-in
   site. So, wp-content/uploads/2 should not be deleted.
 * Integrating is a different issue from this plugin.
    For example, if you can use
   SSH, there is a way to use symbolic links. However, complicated problems such
   as the owner of the file and the write permission can come up.
