How would I transfer all info and pics from Gallery 3 back to Gallery 2?

I have about 19K pics in Gallery 2 and have it nicely integrated with Drupal 6. The Gallery 3 is just a stand alone Gallery right now.
So I would like to put all info and pics in Gallery 2. I'd like to do this in bulk and not one by one.

Both galleries are up and running.
I have access to phpmyadmin if needed

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I think the "Add Item" module will work. It doesn't look like it will bring in tags and other info, but I might be able to do this through phpmyadmin

if you migrated to G3 from G2, it does not harm your G2. You should be able to restore by removing the .htaccess

Thanks Suprsidr. Got all the files transferred. Had problems, Error Storage Failure, but did about 5-7 albums each load and got it done. Also increased my PHP limit to over 300mb.

Just have to figure out how to transfer the custom fields along with description.

So you dismantled your original G2?
did you save a DB backup?

Actually, I transferred all images from Gallery 3 back to Gallery 2.
Right now both are currently running both.
Gallery 2 will be my main Gallery.

I did this since it seems you can now integrate Gallery 2 with both Drupal 6 AND now 7.

Twice I asked about your original G2 pre migration to G3

The original G2 has been running for quite awhile (for about 5 years or so). I think I made a donation back in 2007 or so.

Importing to G3 does not harm the G2 you imported from.
This means that you don't need to install a new G2 and server_add from G3
You just need to remove the .htaccess rules G3 sets up to redirect from your G2.

Actually I imported to G2 (not G3). My main Gallery was G2. I imported from G3 BACK to G2.

I have to try out that JQuery Minislideshow you have. I downloaded/uploaded the files to my G2, but not for sure what to do from there.

Thanks for all the quick responses!

G2 integrated with Drupal 6

That's why I provide code samples.
