Batch uploads including metadata, is it possible?

Hi,

Im loving Gallery3 and intend to use it to display images from our historical archives.

We currently have a nasty access database which I plan to migrate to gallery 3, obviously, getting the info out is my (painful) job but I was wondering, is there any way to upload title/description information along with images?

Ideally this scenario would be for example a csv file as follows,

title,album,desc,path
pic1,album1,this is test picture1,c:\pictures\album1\pic1.jpg
pic2,album1,this is test picture2,c:\pictures\album1\pic2.jpg
pic3,album1,this is test picture3,c:\pictures\album1\pic3.jpg

Where the paths could be relative or on the server (I dont care which).

Basically, I can extract the text fields info from the access database and bring it together into a field called description and create the csv file from it and even populate the paths field but is there any way to import this into Gallery3?

Obviously, exporting the fields from the access database and retaining them as custom fields in Gallery would be the ideal (i.e. Name, location, colour, date) but I understand that is not possible yet.

Any ideas would be very much appreciated.
