Can't move images

[NelutuO]

I need to import products from several 1.4 and 1.5 prestashop sites into one 1.6 prestashop site. I did imported the categories and the products through CSV Import. Because in the cvs files I don't have the right path to the images, the images weren't imported so I started importing them manually.

 

I populated the ps_image, ps_image_lang and the ps_image_shop database tables and I left the ps_image_type table with the default (installation) data.

 

I copied the img/p/ folder from an old site (using the old file system) into the new 1.6 site and I run the Move images from Preferences->Images.

 

After just a few seconds I got the success message, but nothing happened. I also run the Regenerate thumbnails and I got errors saying:

 

Original image is missing or empty (C:xampphtdocspssitename/img/p/3/6/36.jpg) for product ID 36

 

I was expecting to get errors, but I noticed the lack of slashes in the first half of the path name.

 

Is there any correlation between the lack of slashes in the first half of the path name and the fact that the Move images tool is not working, or there is a different reason for the tool not to work?

 

I use the 1.6.0.6.
