William,

To import the images, you'll need to do some database work.  The 
following instructions assume you haven't already created any images in 
the new system.  You'll encounter some problems with the image.id and 
imagerevision.id if you have already created some images (these are 
embedded in the actual image disk files).  Backup the new system's 
database before doing this.

1) dump these tables from the old system: image, imagemeta, imagerevision
2) import those dumps into the new system (you'll probably need to delete 
the noimage entry either from the new system or from the dumps so that 
you don't get a conflict)
3) on the VCL site, create an image group you will put all of them in 
(I'll call it "Imported Images")
4) create records in the resource table:
   INSERT INTO resource (resourcetypeid, subid) SELECT 13, id FROM image;
5) add all of them to the image group:
   INSERT INTO resourcegroupmemebers (resourceid, resourcegroupid) SELECT 
resource.id, resourcegroup.id FROM resource, resourcegroup WHERE 
resource.resourcetypeid = 13 AND resource.subid != (SELECT id FROM image 
WHERE name = 'noimage') AND resourcegroup.name = 'Imported Images' AND 
resourcegroup.resourcetypeid = 13
6) You should now see all of the images on the VCL site (possibly after 
logging out/back in), assuming your use account has access to the image 
group created in #3

Let us know how it works out for you.

Josh
