Hi,
I am creating a program which bulk imports a ton of images to the mediawiki
"images" directory.
I would rather use a mediawiki api call to do this, but it does not seem to
be available.
Does anyone know the schema of the "images" directory. It appears to be
some kind of hash/tree structure in the file system. I just need to know
what the hash function is, so that I can place the image in the right
directory myself.
I will be happy to look through the source code to see how its done as well
- could someone point me to the right src file to look at?
Thanx, in advance!
-George

The file structure depends on you settings. On Wikimedia it is
/images/md5(img_name)[0]/md5(img_name)[0:1]/img_name where img_name is
the properly normalized name of the image. There should also be a
maintenance script in /maintenance
