Hi,

I have quite big wiki with a lot of jpg files. I recently faced some memory issues, so I thought, that moving all media files to external location might improve the way this wiki works.

In version 1.4.0 of Bob Linux, there was button in settings called ""Make images external" and if I remember correctly it was doing the thing I want to do now, but the problem is, that I cannot locate a similar button in version 1.6.0 of Bob Linux server.

Anyone has a clue, how can I do that?

The button is in the $:/ControlPanel, go to the Bob tab and then click on Server Settings and scroll down a little to see the button.

Make sure you back up all your data first.

Thanks, I found it, but unfortunately it doesn't work well. Images are indeed saved to ./files directory, but in RootWiki instead of IndexWiki (not surer why) and they are not displayed in tiddlers anymore, even after restarting wiki. Please note, that I have enabled media server as well and newly imported images appear in ./files directory of IndexWiki and are well displayed.
