I have event photos which must be added to a drupal 5 Acidfree installation. When I use the Mass import, I can upload by selecting the individual files, but if I use the section to import from an online location, the image nodes are created, but no images are imported. I'm really hoping this is just a small bug. Does the network location for my images (prior) to import need to have any special permissions set?

Thanks

network location of images? No such thing. Mass import has two options: 1) upload via your browser. 2) local to the web server (some directory that is accessible to the web server locally, e.g. something that can be copied using the cp command.)

I use the second option often when I have a large directory of images I want to upload that is bigger than the max upload size for my server. Then I will scp the images to the server, ssh to the server and untar them and then use the mass import local feature.

I tried to mass import zipped files, but after submitting the form, I only got this message:

Importing file DSC04800.zip

but the files were not creted.. In 4.6 version, this works perfectly... I just got a default installation of Drupal, no special settings and only acidfree and filemanager contributed modules were enabled, there rest are core. Is there any special configurations to make the mass import work?

Thanks,

I am just going through and cleaning out the issue queue of all stale bugs. Try using Acidfree 5.0. If that doesn't work, open a new bug and tell me why.
