I'm wondering if this is a feature that could be easily implemented into the next version of Gallery Remote, where a user can specify a directory full of images/sub-directories and have them be uploaded to a gallery, using the parent directory name as the album name, and generating them as necessary. For example, if this is my directory/file tree:

.\
image.jpg
.\My Vacation Photos\
vacationpicture1.jpg
vacationpicture2.jpg
.\My Vacation Photos\Higher-Res\
hires1.jpg
hires2.jpg

You'd end up with two new albums, "My Vacation Photos" and sub-album "Higher-Res", with the image files placed inside of them.

If someone knows a way of doing this outside of Gallery Remote (and on the Windows platform) please let me know.

I have heard that people have had success using galleryadd.pl on Windows under cygwin. (it's a perl script).

Excellent! I just got it working with ActivePerl under Windows. Just ran "perl GalleryAdd.pl" and it worked right off the bat. Thanks a bunch.

right off the bat? terrific! I will have to try again. Which version of ActivePerl are you using? Did you have to install any modules whatsoever?

GetOpt:Simple had to be added/downloaded to the Perl includes.

ActivePerl 5.8.0 build 806

If this could be a Gallery Remote feature I would be on Cloud 9, I can't get galleryadd.pl to run and absolutely love Gallery Remote.
