Exporting stored files

[Jon Polish]

If I remember correctly, it was Quant who advocated against storing files in UR. Keeping them in the same directory as my urd file is an appealing alternative since the url to the actual file is relative.

I would like to try and see how well this would work for me. My databases are quite large and contain many, many stored files. Is there a way to export and delete all stored files en masse and create the links to the newly created files? I am sure there is a way (content type? DocType?), but I am feeling lazy.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.
