I recently moved my blog over to another host, and just copy and pasted my
/wp-content/uploads/ folder into the new destination. I've now got four
years worth of media, but none of it is in the media library.
I assumed the button on the Media Library (under Unattached) would add
these files to the database, but it didn't.
Extending this use case, this feature could also be used as a bulk "these
files are already on the server, I don't want to upload them" (which is
the only way to add files to the media library, no?) action.
