    Importing Media Folder

    I created a package just containing the media folder.  I imported this package into a new Umbraco installation.  I navigate to the Media section, but nothing is there.  I look on the file system in the media folder, and all the files are actually there, in the same folders they are in the instance I exported from.

    Why is nothing showing in the UI?

    Hi Jamie

    In Umbraco media items are created in the media section. These items are mapped to the physical file on the disk, which is saved in the /media/ folder.

    That means you can't just copy file into the media folder and be able to access them within the media folder of Umbraco.

    At the moment it's not possible to create an umbraco package containing images either. In order to do this some C# coding is required as far as I know.

    Hope this answers your question :)

    /Jan
