[dokuwiki] Re: How to move media and preserve the links?

Hi Andreas,

Though I have no bright ideas about moving the files around, apart of the brute
force file system approach, the links update can be done with BatchEdit.

As for the media file references look up, it seems that DokuWiki search does a
decent job listing all references to the file if you search for its name. If the
file name isn't unique enough, with BatchEdit you can also include namespace in
the search. Or even the curly braces for that matter. That is if you are handy
with regular expressions.


I hope it didn't sound as self-promotion ;)
