use the batch api and to avoid timeouts. that's not shown

here's a reasonably generic function to create nodes:

<?php
function _import_create_node($node_type, $files, $title, $caption, $taxonomy) {
  // For node_object_prepare()
  module_load_include('inc', 'node', 'node.pages');

  $node = new stdClass();
  $node->type = $node_type;
  $node->uid = $user->uid;
  $node->name = $user->name;
  $node->title = $title;
  $node->body = '';
  node_object_prepare($node);

  $node->field_caption[0] = array('value' => $caption);
  $node->taxonomy = $taxonomy;

  // Get the filefield module to do the saving and marking the record as permanent.
  foreach ($files as $field_name => $file) {
    if (isset($node->$field_name)) {
      array_push($node->$field_name, $file);
    }
    else {
      $node->$field_name = array(0 => $file);
    }
  }

  $node = node_submit($node);
  node_save($node);

  return $node;
}
?>

this will help you figure out where the widget wants it's files stored (it should probably become a function in filefield.module):

<?php
/**
 * Determine the widget's files directory
 *
 * @param $field CCK field
 * @return files directory path.
 */
function _import_widget_files_directory($field) {
  $widget_file_path = $field['widget']['file_path'];
  if (module_exists('token')) {
    global $user;
    $widget_file_path = token_replace($widget_file_path, 'user', $user);
  }
  return file_directory_path() .'/'. $widget_file_path;
}
?>

And here's an example of calling it you'll need to validate then save the files then plug them into the node (I'm doing multiple imagefields) this would be the part that would be a single batch api operation:

<?php
  // For field_file_save_file()
  module_load_include('inc', 'filefield', 'field_file');

  // Loop over all the field/filepath pairs and create files objects.
  $files = array();
  foreach ($args['files'] as $field_name => $file_info) {
    // Load the field and figure out the specific details.
    $field = content_fields($field_name, $args['node_type']);
    $validators = array_merge(filefield_widget_upload_validators($field), imagefield_widget_upload_validators($field));
    $files_path = _import_widget_files_directory($field);

    if (!$file = field_file_save_file($file_info['filepath'], $validators, $files_path)) {
      return FALSE;
    }
    $files[$field_name] = $file;
  }

  // Create the node object.
  $node = _import_create_node(
    $args['node_type'],
    $files,
    $args['title'],
    $args['caption'],
    $args['taxonomy']
  );
?>

Awesome. That's a ton of info, and should serve me well, whenever I get around to actually pulling all these files in. Very high thanks!

Oh, great, also very high thanks. I can need your code to do quite a good integration of ImageField (based on FileField) in Image FUpload (mass uploading via Flash =)

<?php
// Load the field and figure out the specific details.
    $field = content_fields($field_name, $args['node_type']);
    $validators = array_merge(filefield_widget_upload_validators($field), imagefield_widget_upload_validators($field));
?>

I used this code to get the suitable validators for my imagefield, but I find it curious that it isn't tested if this is a real image file, not a fake like a renamed PDF, for example. But this seems to be a bug of imagefield, right?
