it doesnt looks like FULL PATH to the folder

just create a folder, upload your pictures, set correct FULL PATH to that folder in batch import settings and now u can uset trough admin control panel. then u can use auto thumbnails feature.

if u want also import thumbnails along with pictures, then u'll need create another folder INSIDE the one with pictures, upload there thumbs and put name of the thumb folder in the script settings.

path?

i dont understand what u mean? do u mean the images inside my 4images folder on my server?

like this   /public_html/gallery/admin/images

gallery = 4images folder?

but can i use the auto thumnailer becuz i dont have GD or imagemagik..

the one thing I don't understand is,
I upload images to /upload/ which is this path:
$data_src_path = "/path/to/images/folder";

but then how in the world does it know which category folder to put it in? i don't see how this works or how it is different from "check new images"

it will create new category with name of the folder (in your case new category name will be "upload")
also, each time u do import, it WILL NOT add images into already existing categories, it will create new one, so if u forget delete previously imported folders, it will import them again with the same name but different ID.

so.... with Batch Upload plugin, you can never upload images into pre-existing folders?

sigh.
