I wrote a little shell script to handle it. I think it basically involved finding each file of the format "file-column-dir/id/file.format", and moving it to "image-science-dir/id % 1000/id/file.format", or something like that, creating the directories if they didn't exist already as I went along "mkdir -p". I think by examining the current file structure and looking at ImageScience's documentation can get you what you need. Sorry I can't remember more of this, I have a tough time remembering a few weeks ago, let alone several months ago. :) I’m afraid I don’t remember the specifics of it, but it wasn’t too hard.

I also am in the process of rewriting 10 old rails apps, which all used file column. Thanks for the tips for replacing file_column, but how do you move the existing files into the correct file system layout?

Thanks in advance for your answer!
