i am uploading multiple folders full of images and i thought that as i am uploading them i can import the batches that are done. well if you do that and a couple files upload in the meantime, even if they are in another folder, as long as they are alphabetically listed above the batch you are importing, then the selections you make get applied to the way the list is ordered when you submit the form. know what i mean? here is the output of an import i did:
# album11/page01.jpg as 100_5772
# album11/page02.jpg as 100_5773
# album11/page03.jpg as 100_5774
# slides batch 1/100_5772.jpg as 100_5775
# slides batch 1/100_5773.jpg as 100_5776
# slides batch 1/100_5774.jpg as 100_5777
so it will screw up in the sense that images will be mislablled and also images from other folders get imported and are then missing for that batch. also your import will leave behind however many files you are off by.
so the import form must submit files based only on order in the list and not by any identifier? at least a note could be made in the import page that all uploading must be complete before attempting an import (before even refreshing the import form, since checking on the upload progress and then using that form later, to import a few items, you won't get the items you want because you didn't refresh first).
