How to do mass uploading?

[risul]

Hello,

Has anyone done this?

1. Upload lots of pictures (over 16000) to the server
2. Make INSERTS (make category) to the mySQL-db based on directory name.
3. Move/Rename the directory to /4images/data/media
4. Make INSERTS (for pictures) to the mySQL-db based on files in DB

Any Ideas about how-to do this?
Thank you for your help!

This is the very same question I came here to ask.

Very good software but because of the use of MySQL it does not afford us the similar functions of mass importation of images such as ImageFolio, Gallery and McGallery does and that has been the one thing that has caused me to pause at this point.

I sure would not like to have to manualy upload each image and the image browse/upload is unforgiving if you forgot to enter one category or a name.


I propose as upgrade in new code. I can't write a line of code so I am dependent on others.

1. Make the upload process forgiving if you have forgotten one cat or name to not trash the other 9 uploads.

2. Allow for the use of the image file name as default or at least auto assign a name unless you tell it different.

3. Have selection of default category for uploads, hence if you are going to upload 10 images first selection is "category" sort f like "Gallery".


Now I hope someone has a helpful answer to the original request for a way to batch upload.

Thanks,
