Scald Image Import :
IMCE support
Scald Image Import allows to create Scald Image Atoms from image files already uploaded on the server.
Images can be :
- imported at current location
- copied to default location
- moved to default location
It's possible to import all files of specified file directory
Care is (silently) taken about handling of managed/unmanaged files, so some combos may not work (for instance, managed files can not be moved).
Scald Authors and Tags fields can be preset once for the whole import set.
IMCE upload feature can of course be used, with control of available locations by usual IMCE profiles;
Bulk upload via plupload is supported, via IMCE_plupload module; IMCE thumbnails should not be used though, as this is (better) done later in scald contexts, via image styles.
Finally, IPTC tags can be imported on the fly, via Scald IPTC module.
D6 Image migration path
This takes place AFTER site has been upgraded with standard drupal update.php, and image stuff converted by field converter included in image_legacy package (and probably field convert)
This creates image atoms, from the pseudo cck field attached to image nodes.
The process is interactive, and driven by Image Galleries taxonomies;
If it does not work out of the box, check the tables and fields names in the source code...
Notes :
- as usual, IMCE usage should be reserved to educated users...
- more advanced users can play with shell wildcard sequences to fine tune imported files list.
Actually, the module requires "Administer Scald atoms".
