Media Library
Hi,

We have a bunch of images located in the metafile section of the database. They're product images that were added there when the products were created. There are no physical files right now. Is there an easy way to export all of these metafiles to the media library or is that not possible?

Thanks

RE:Media Library
Are these images in your current Kentico instance database? If so you can easily change how and where your files are stored. Go into Site Manager>Settings>System>Files and check the Store files in file system. You won't see any images in the file system until you actually access the images for the first time. So this would mean you'd have to go to each product and load the page with the image on it.

From there you could then create your media library and copy all those images over to a folder within you media library.

Hello.

If you want to save metafiles from DB to HDD, you can do this in the Site Manager / Administration / System / Files / Metafiles section.
