Upload folder change and SQL update

    I need to relocate a bunch of image files on my site. Specifically I’m going to take some of the folders like: \wp-content\uploads\20094 and separate it into \wp-content\uploads\200941, \wp-content\uploads\200942, and \wp-content\uploads\200943 (or something close to that). to correspond with this the references to those directories would need to be updated in the SQL for the following:
    wp_posts: guid
    wp_posts: post_content
    wp_postmeta: meta_value

    however, after doing so I lose thumbnails (the thumbnails are being moved along with the full images). ergo, my page/post will load with the full images. I’m not quite sure what I’m missing / what is breaking the thumbnail load. anyone have any ideas or know?

    for anyone else who runs into this it appears the issue is if you’ve changed your thumbnail size/options. the thumbnails that were current with my options still worked after updating the SQL info. the ones that broke were thumbnails made under older settings. using the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin fixed those.
