You have perhaps misunderstood the purpose of the patch. During the upgrade to Drupal 6 it will attempt to see if any files hosted inside the files within that Drupal installation and <span style="font-weight: bold;">if not
</span>; the default files folder will be changed. Otherwise, all files will remain the same.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 4/23/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">KevinImNotSpacey</b> <<a href="mailto:kevin.amerson@gmail.com">

We have a single site install and symlink the files off to a NAS, now it would be really annoying if some script attempted to move those files off the NAS simply because we left the default files/ folder.
<br><br>Perhaps this has been over-engineered at this point. Some people have multi-site installs, some people don't. There is already a warning that shows if Drupal thinks there is a problem with the files folder, maybe just add a note to that which states: Hey if you have a multi-site install consider doing
<span style="font-weight: bold;">this really cool thing over here</span>. Then provide them with a helper link to a function which sets up that really cool thing.<br><br>Kevin<div><span class="e" id="q_1121f077e500b1c5_1">
