Migrated Joomla 1 to 2.5 and VirtueMart 1.x to 2.x and lost product images

Question

I have lost my product images. When I check /jupgrade/administrator/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=media it displays the complete list of jpg's.

There is this button to synchronize media to virtuemart but that did not work. the products are all there, but have no images.

I hope that I made my issue clear. Please let me know if you need additional information.

The output of the sync media button:

Found prior migration process, resume migration maxScriptTime 47 maxMemoryLimit 82
Synchronized 0 media for product in directory images/stories/virtuemart/product/
Synchronized 0 media for category in directory images/stories/virtuemart/category/
Synchronized 0 media for manufacturer in directory images/stories/virtuemart/manufacturer/
Synchronized 0 media for vendor in directory images/stories/virtuemart/vendor/
Synchronized 0 media for forSale in directory
Synchronized alltogether 0 files

Answer 1

if i remember correctly, the images are not migrated automatically, you have to manually move them from old (/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/) to new ( /images/stories/virtuemart/)directory before sync.

In virtuemart configuration (when executing sync) the images are then auto added to products.
