I have been using the normal zc image style. _MED & _LRG. I installed IH2 about 2 months ago and I love it. No more making diff sizes and dealing with all that headache.

Today I decided to shrink down my image dir to save server space. Downloaded my image dir, batched all large and medium to remove the _med and _lrg.

Moved all of the "used to be _med's" into my (local) images dir to overwrite the smaller ones and then again with the "used to be _lrg's".

Now I have one dir /images/ with all of my largest images there. So there isn't an images/large or images/medium now. Just /images/.

I uploaded the new images directory to the server and gave the old one a different name so it wouldn't be used but I still have the backup. Now it seems like it's working but. . .

Why do the medium and large images break when I go to admin --> images and remove the _LRG and _MED from where it says large image directory and medium image directory?

Shouldn't that work? Doesn't IH2 know what to do? Should I go to admin-->tools-->image handler2-->admin and clear the Image Cache?

If I'm just way off please explain how this transition should be made.

Thank you,
John
