It would be nice to be able to specify the gallery node for all pictures beeing uploaded, or per directory.
(Node Gallery has it :)

Hmmm, I'm not seeking to compete with Node Gallery. I need to review that project and decide if it's worth continuing with CCK Gallery or parking it in favour of Node Gallery. But, that aside, there is another post in the issue queue about importing images. Not sure if that helps?

If this project does continue then I agree, better import options should be on the list! =)

Greg,
from my point of view, CCK Gallery is better then Node gallery, exactly because of the "CCK" (the relation between node and gallery is "obscured" there ...) . With CCK in D7, I think CCK Gallery is THE gallery for the future :-). (sorry, I didnt make it to write my opinion into the Node G thread). I§ve been researching and testing most of the available galleries, and I really think this one is the best one - with the possibility to add whatever one wants to the node, and so on :-).
So please do not park this one.

And back to the original subject :-)
the other post is sort of more general, it could show possible ways, and this is one of concrete implementantions, probably a rather easy one :-) (so easy, I think i'd try to implement it, I am just little hesitant about how to do it ...) . I think that at the end you might need more ways of mass upload, as some cant use ftp, others dont like flash and java ... but all need to import masses :-).

I also think thatmass import of images is base of success of a photo gallery, today we are managing millions of photos easily with a laptop and without possibility to uplad often them in mass is a big limit for an online gallery tool, I'll start to use cck gallery when I'll know a way to mass import photos.
I just know some modules as:
http://drupal.org/project/image_fupload (super used and will advertise your module on project page)
http://drupal.org/project/imgupload

Instead I don't usggest to use this not stable:
http://drupal.org/project/swfupload

Thanks for this.

http://drupal.org/project/image_fupload looks like it might be useful. Trouble is, it uploads multiple images to a single CCK field, right? Or perhaps not... need to test it. Either way, it won't be smart enough to keep things within a Gallery I don't think. There'll be more work needed for that. It could perhaps be extended though. =)

the latest version of imagefield import does it automatically :-) see http://drupal.org/cvs?commit=293520
that made this module even better :)

it mean that if I'll use the .dev I'll be able to do multiimport of photos?
I dream a day that you wil be free to advertise this feature on project page of this module.

not dev, it is the "official" imagefield import 6.x-1.6

That' a gret news! I run to test it, I suggest you also to advertise this magic feature on this module frontpage.
