At the moment I've not yet migrated to the new schema, the install I was testing with does not have a lot of action, so at the moment I am fixing the issues when they appear (not very frequent). On the near future, will see, I can't modify the fields in the database because I am using a fixed layout, so I might use a solution based on creating hardlinks, changing configuration, and then remove the original paths... Still I haven't tested this... Will post what I have in the future..
