When I edit the item and switch to Image tab there is nothing there anymore. I've checked /media/k2/items/src and there are hundreds of files but pretty much nothing in media/k2/items/cache (only those that were added after images were gone).

Any way to find them? I do have a backup but would prefer to find out the cause.

tried MD5 from article "Image" + ID and all files are in src folder, just not related to the article anymore somehow

UPDATE: copied files from backup /cache folder to the website and they are back. so how this cache folder could have been deleted?

yep, got as far as that )) any reason they could have been deleted other than someone doing that? I mean in any case that's not the most important/obvious folder to delete

thanks for the script!
