It lets you download your products with all the attributes as a csv file. If you are moving between stores, you'd need to install it twice and it takes a little while to set up. But it would be significantly less than a year :) Hope that helps Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case I'd def do a database query to identify them, and then simply change the value of the category for these items to the new category ID in the database, using another script.
