Hi Thomas,

well, you can just manipulate the files in assetstore directly. The only thing 
you'll have to update in database is checksum and size_bytes columns in the 
bitstream column. It doesn't get easier than that.

Of course, try this on a testing server first and when you're redy to do it in 
production, back up both your assetstore and database in case something goes 
wrong.

At the end, you'll have to run filter-media again.

Helix84,

There is no easy way to export the items + metadata, and then reimport all the 
metadata and just replace all the bitstreams that were there and reindex them? 
If not I can look at editing the assetstore directly, but that isn't the best 
option.

Thanks,

Tom
