The "mass import" functionality is one of the best features of acidfree, IMHO.
However, the current way to get to the mass import page seems rather unintuitive (one has to go to create content -> albums -> mass import). I would not expect to find "mass import" as a sub-page of the create content page of an album.

The attached patch adds a tab to all albums, titled "mass import". This seems to me the proper place for a link to "mass import".

There is a mass import link in the ' Add Acidfree items quick links' block. That is what I always use. If you are still bound and determined to have it be a local task, here is what you need to do.

  1. Add a setting to admin/settings/acidfree that says 'put mass import tab on album pages' in the Display section
  2. In Acidfree menu, only add the link to the album if the admin setting is true, the user has 'mass import' access and one of the following is true:
    1. the user owns the album
    2. the user has access to post to any album
    3. the album is marked as shared

Sounds like a good idea to me
