URL of File Management file 42:
http://www.geeklog.net/filemgmt/index.php/42

URL of Downloads file 42 after conversion:
http://www.geeklog.net/downloads/index.php/42

URL rewriting will be relatively easy.

IDs of the numeric type are converted to the string type.
It is the same as the parameter of URLs and autotags.
So, we will be able to create a conversion script.
