 * Hi, I’ve had WP installed since 2004, when I understood little about it. After
   a few evolutions and upgrades, I now see that I have two (!!) file upload folders:/
   images (the original) and /files (currently in use and specified in ‘Store uploads
   in this folder’).
 * I have new installation that uses the default, /wp-content/uploads.
 * I would like to somehow get all these files in the one default folder, /wp-content/
   uploads/, and search and replace their files names either with a plugin or via
   phpadmin.
 * Is that possible? Is there a roadmap for this somewhere, maybe…? or an easier
   way?
 * Gosh I hope so.
