Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

I extracted the data before removing the avatars then used Excel formulas to create the copy back command and the query to update the users with the avatar filename. Very good for that.

Please upload JPG or PNG. Webp won't work in all browsers.

 

 

Or pretty much anything else but browsers. It's a totally stupid idea that saves Google a few bytes to serve up but is a major PITA for anyone else when images are presented in a format that nothing can use. For Firefox at least there's a conversion extension, but you have to do it manually, there's no way to have it automatically save webp images as jpeg.

All old avatars are now reloaded - the new avatar system is in place and no loss of content at the end.

 

Thanks Excel!

 

 

Plus 1 for Excel

 

I find Excel one of my most useful tools to manipulate data, to see what will change before I run a script.
