I stumbled upon a really cool way of maintaining a photo gallery using views attachments and cck node reference.
http://www.lullabot.com/articles/photo-galleries-views-attach

This is a really easy way to allow individual adding of images by (non-computer-geek) users.
The only thing missing is a bulk upload. That way you can have administrators setting up entire galleries on the fly and individual members adding a photo here and there.

This module seems to be the best choice to implement a solution.

Does this module add all possible fields of the node type with the imagefield to the import form?

thx

Not sure what you mean by "all possible fields", but I just used this module to import into the views_gallery galleries, it works great.

You select the Image file field in the settings for this module, and on the import page you can select which gallery to import to (you have to create the gallery yourself prior to the import, unless you want to use the default one).

Yup. The nodreference "gallery node" "photo node" is a pretty handy way to make an image gallery.

I -think- you can add more data to the node object that's being created through a form alter.

But I'm not able to invest the time in this module to provide futher integration with more fields.

The module works very well for importing images to galleries created using the views attach method described in the Lullabot article.

I'm currently using it to import around 10.000 pictures to a set of galleries.
