Indeed, there are hundreds of items/lines in that table, the "uid"
column corresponds to the file:#. So thanks a lot for that hint!

But it obviously is done only with files present during update, links I
added later stay in the known path format, right? 

And is there possibly an easier to look up that file:# than using
phpmy"insecure"admin, which I banned long ago (my provider offers it in
the customer's menu, so I logged in there, but that is eating time)?
Like putting a reference into the info field popping up per item in the
file module? Probably nobody wants to install phpmyadmin for such
purpose ...

Kind regards,
Axel
