A DB query to find all files in the dl_files table with -1 in the dl_threadid column. Then execute hook dl_post_upload_edit for each of those files.

Or you could even get a little fancier and after the DB query, populate a page with all of those files with checkboxes allowing the admin to select which of the files to create threads for. Maybe add a time delay to process X amount of threads at a time for those sites with thousands of files in the DLII Directory already.

I'm gonna work on making a simple version of this for my site. I'm not really a mod writer but I'll share what I make with anyone else interested. It will be a basic button to "create threads" and will do it without any extra options, but it will work. I'll work on this and post up what I make when I'm done.

Alright, I made the changes to my site and have it functioning. While I was at it, I decided to spend the time to make it a useful mod for everyone else asking for this capability too. It was a lot more involved than I originally thought but I think it should work for most peoples' needs.

I'm still working out the last of the bugs that I can find and taking care of some formatting and other cosmetic issues, but here's a few screenies to give you an idea. I should have this done and posted within a day or so.
