[TYPO3-dev] FAL migration for file links missing?

[Nicolas de Haen]

The FAL migration wizard seems to completely ignore links to files in 
tt_content.bodytext. Only tt_content.media is updated.

This will break all links if a file resource is renamed. There should be 
at least a note in the Update wizard that file links are not migrated!

I recently run into big trouble when migrating a website with >1200 file 
links in tt_content when after several days an editor started renaming 
folders since that "should" be possible with FAL. Took me a whole day 
work to get the database consistent again. (Since there are still some 
other bugs in FAL which altogether really messed up the whole stuff)

If there were a note in the Upgrade wizzard I could have done the 
migration manually with a script in less than 1 hour. At the moment it 
makes you think that the migration is already completely implemented

I wonder that noone ran into that issue during the year since 6.0 is 
published now. Or was that implemented before?

I would appreciate any reaction from someone who is involved in the FAL 
migration stuff...

Here is the bug report (almost2 weeks old):
