Comment(by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 Replying to [comment:1 azaozz]:
 > You mean change the uploads directory without moving the previously
 uploaded files so there are two different upload directories?

 Pretty much so, yeah. Site is currently using wp-content/uploads, and I
 was looking into changing that to media. So one old upload directory, and
 a new one. If we store the "current" uploads directory (e.g. wp-
 content/uploads) as a meta, we fix this.


 > It seems the more common user case is to move the uploads directory to a
 new location. In that case galleries continue to work properly (as long as
 the sub-dirs are kept intact) but the inserted images in older posts need
 to be corrected.

 Right. Hence the suggestion, which would kill two birds in one stone.
