Do you mean when I export them, to include the Thumb URL - like http://www.pornluv.com/llist/thumbs/420.jpg - and when I import them, to include that for the "Preview URL" field? If so, that's what I assumed would work, but when you import & select "Replace old gallery data with new gallery data" for Duplicates, it deletes all the old data for that gallery, including the thumb.

OR

Are you talking about this from admin/docs/galleries-export.html



OR

I could load all those galleries on a page & have my Image Downloader grab all 1600 thumbs, then upload them to the /thumbs/ directory after I import everything, but that too seems like a lot of extra work.

One silly option is to RENAME thumb folder for a moment and then select replace

So it goes to delete the thumb, can't find it, and just moves on? That is an idea. Of course, it'd fuck up 75 sites in the process as they try to load thumbs that aren't there
