Importing collection data from 1.4 to 2.2.0

[Chris Joelly]

Hello!

i have upgraded to 2.2.0 and finally get used to the new version ;)

but i have a question regarding importing the data from 1.4:

i thought that "Importing collection" will import all data from my
previous collection, but, as i read a thread from october on this list
this is not the case. I catched on that thread that i have to rescan my
collection from filesystem in any case.

So, if i understood if correct, the best way to import the data is:

1. scan the filesystem
2. import the statistics

hm. in 1.4 i used mysql to store data about my collection. and i want to
use mysql again with 2.2. 

how to deal with the database issue in this context?

the 1.4 scheme seems to be updated and useless for 2.2, so i can safely
throw away the 1.4 db and create a new one for 2.2? I think no, the old
db is needed for accessing parts of the old statistics?

but i have to create a new database for the 2.2 db scheme upfront and
configure the connection details before point 1, scanning the filesystem?

is this the way the upgrade w.r.t the statistics should work smoothly?

thx

Chris
