I've looked all over, I've tried searching, but I can't seem to find the answer I'm looking for. I'm very new to Gallery, I'm trying to set up Gallery 2, for the most part it's working wonderfully. Here's my question: Under the features when I first started looking at Gallery I read this: With a screenshot http://gallery.menalto.com/gallery/screenshots/screenshotsG1/aap.jpg.html Showing this in action. I have literally 1,000's of pictures I would like to upload, but I am not finding any information about this form you can upload with all the description information for the photos. I've been using "Edit Captions" on my test photos, but I can only edit 9 at a time, and it's a little bit of a pain in the rear. Is there some way of uploading a spreadsheet like document with all the file names with corresponding descriptions? When I read the feature quoted above, that's what I kind of assumed it was, some sort of delimited file you uploaded. I'm hoping I didn't totally misread that. Any advice (in laymen/laywoman terms) would be greatly appreciated! |

the screenshot is showing Gallery 1.x and not Gallery 2.x.
g1 has a csv metadata upload feature, g2 not. in g2, i'd add your 1000 images with gallery remote or add items -> from server with a few clicks, and then annotate with edit captions.

I was hoping there would be a different option than using "edit captions". I've been doing that for a while and I'm on page 9 out of 28...
Isn't there some way of pasting the info into a MySQL table or something? It would be so neat if you could just upload a delimited list that had the file name, then the info you wanted to associate with it.
I have no idea in the world how this would be done, but I am a php & MySQL novice, I'm sure there is some brilliant programmer out there that could think of something!
Can't blame a gal for asking
