@iamstuart I don't think so. I think you need to move existing files manually (write custom script) to follow new structure

Spatie Media Library: Can I add a custom path generator, then update all old media to reflect the new structure easily?
I have been using a custom path structure for my media for a little while, but I've realised it's wrong and it's making things tricky so needs updating. I've added a new CustomPathStructure class for all media going forwards. Is there a way I can easily update all of my old media files to use this new structure? I've noticed php artisan media-library:regenerate doesn't handle that.

Many thanks @silencebringer, I don't suppose you'd have any tips or a basic example on what that'd look like do you? Thank you!

@iamstuart hm... something like
$oldPathGenerator = app(OldPathGenerator::class); // init your old path generator
$medias = Media::where('id', '<', $lastIdOfMediaCreatedWithOldPathGenerator); // get medias to move
foreach ($medias as $media) {
Storage::move(
$oldPathGenerator->getPath($media) . $media->file_name, // path from old generator
$media->getPath() . $media->file_name, // generate path with the current (new) generator
);
}
also you can move entirely folder with old files to new place.

@SilenceBringer Superstar! I only needed to tweak it slightly to:
$oldPathGenerator = app(OldPathGenerator::class); // init your old path generator
$newPathGenerator = app(NewPathGenerator::class); // init your old path generator
$medias = Media::where('id', '<', $lastIdOfMediaCreatedWithOldPathGenerator); // get medias to move
foreach ($medias as $media) {
Storage::move(
$oldPathGenerator->getPath($media) . $media->file_name, // path from old generator
$newPathGenerator->getPath($media) . $media->file_name, // generate path with the current (new) generator
);
}
