UPDATE post SET pagetext=REPLACE(pagetext, 'old_url', 'new_url');

where old_url is the path as found in one in you posts now, and new_url the path as you wish to have as the new destination.

Keep in mind that the db connection may time out, but you can repeat as often as needed, since UPDATE is smart enough not to change the records which already have been changed. Best of course is to call mysql from the shell.

The problem is not to change the path, but there are too much pictures in the folder. Many of them are not used. The importer were the best possibility for that problem.
