   I just upgraded from Wordpress 1.5.2 to 2.0.2. Everything went absolutely perfect (I am very impressed!) with the exception of 1 minor inconvenience.

   I had a bunch of images in a wp-content\images folder. On 2.0.2, there is an upload folder. I am trying to get my old images to be recognized in the upload folder without having to upload them again.

   With 2.0.2, I have a folder called wp-content\uploads that I am able to upload files to directly from a post. Using an FTP client, I moved a few of my files from the images folder to the upload folder. Those files are not recognized on the Write|Page screen.

   How do you suggest getting my old images added so they are recognized on the Write|Page screen Upload section?

   It will seem that an uploaded image is like a post, and registered in the database. My guess is that you have to upload the images again.

   Or let them stay where they are or move them to a theme independent folder, e.g. /pathtoblog/images.
From there they could be added to a post using
/<pathtoblog/images/someimage.jpg`

   There may be other methods.

   I decided to bypass the Wordpress upload manager and opt for a plug-in instead. I am now using Image Manager and it is pretty impressive.
