Importing bulk files using Attachment_fu

Hi -

Around the corner I have a project to migrate thousands of images per user accounts. The existing structure is each user has a folder named after their account - in it is all of their pics.

On the new setup I am using attachment_fu, which I noticed while using physical storage on the server stores the images into folders/subfolders based upon the object (if i'm not mistaken).

Question is - what's the best approach to move all these images to the new system? Adjust attachment_fu's storage method to mirror our existing setup or write some sort of script to batch them in?

Any help/tips appreciated.

Thanks!

In general what i find is that going the way the authors intended it to always gives better results (or less headache) .

So i would batch insert them through a script.
