 * Dion,
 * I copied wp-contents/uploads/* from the old WP to the same location in the new
   WP. The files are distributed in the YYYY-MM structure, and I have years and 
   years of files.
 * Is there a way to make the plugin look recursively for files to import in the
   media library?
 * Thanks

 * Answer is no unfortunately.
 * However, if you import your SQL database to your new host, or, you import a WXR
   WordPress export to the new host, you should hopefully have the images just work
   with core…
