I had created some albums on my new Coppermine 1.33 installation and then decided that my category/album heirarchy was all wrong and wanted to start over. I deleted all the albums and created my new categories and then created the new albums under them. When I try to do a batch upload into the new albums from my existing ftp folders I get the message "No New Files Found". I believe this is because the MySQL database still has a record for those filenames. I would prefer not renaming all my files as there are hundreds of them. Is there a way to purge the MySQL database of any filename records so that I can start over and batch upload my files into the new albums? ???
no, the files are gone. You deleted them, didn't you? Re-upload them, or check for yourself (using your FTP app).
You can empty the cpg_pictures table using phpmyadmin.
