So over the various version updates, random images (and other downloads) across my site have lost. For example: > **[Batch Rename Files in the Finder](https://forum.keyboardmaestro.com/t/batch-rename-files-in-the-finder/680)** > > In Yosemite, the Finder finally allows Batch Rename of files by control-clicking on a set of files. However, the options are fairly limited and their is no preview at all. The end of the TidBITS article and the comments list various third party... Both the macro download file and the image have disappeared and are now broken links. I have run a script over my site to look for all links, and it appears there are two formats: - [https://forum.keyboardmaestro.com/uploads/default/567/7e111a68ca4297f1.png](https://forum.keyboardmaestro.com/uploads/default/567/7e111a68ca4297f1.png) - [https://forum.keyboardmaestro.com/uploads/default/568ddd355d879cf002be5541673c39587575fc90](https://forum.keyboardmaestro.com/uploads/default/568ddd355d879cf002be5541673c39587575fc90) The latter seems to be a newer format, and as far as I can tell the old ones lost are of the old format. I have lots of backups, and so I retain the files, so I have backups of the 7e111a68ca4297f1.png image for example. I can restore that file simply placing it in the /var/discourse/shared/standalone/uploads/default folder, and the file is restored and the forum topic repaired. But will it just be deleted again? Will it be migrated to the new format in due course? Can I induce the server to migrate the file? Thanks. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/fixing-lost-images/116523)._
