====Convert paths from absolute to relative====
{{stub}}
This tool allows converting absolute media paths to a relative path. The relative path is relative viz-a-viz the base path as given in the Preferences, or if that is not set, user's directory. A relative path allows to tie the file location to a base path that can change to your needs.

====Add images not included in database====
{{stub}}
Check directories for images not included in database, this tool adds images in directories that are referenced by existing images in the database. You will have to import one media item from each sub directory manually. Media Manager does not include sub-directories automatically. All the directory paths shown in the tool will be searched through.
