Does anyone have a script to export unused files to concrete 5.8 from 5.6. I tried to manually copy the files over, but when i search for those files, the File Manager gives an error If I comment out lines 103 it works and is able to find the files, but it wont list the files automatically in my file total. Trying to find a solid solution without hacking it.
My scripts creates and entry in the Files and FileVersions tables. Not sure what else i might be missing.
