What does it do?

With the extension MKDAM2FAL 6.2 you are able to import DAM data into the structure of FAL. The import includes the following information:

Transfer or update of the relations between the files and the content elements from DAM to FAL
Transfer of the meta information of the files and relations
Transfer of the DAM categories and their relations
Replacement of the DAM media-tag with the FAL link-tag
Update of the Thumbnail information

With this functionality the extension MKDAM2FAL 6.2 supports you by updating from TYPO3 4.x with DAM to 6.2.x with FAL.
