	Has anyone yet written a CLI (perl or phpcli) tool to import directories of images as gallery albums? The web form is okay for occasional work, but kind of aggravating to use when importing large numbers of images that were, say, previous stored in a much less capable webgallery program. :smile:

	Hm, interesting. Not quite what I was looking for, as it actually does it by uploading the images to the server, but there's some other stuff on that page that'll help a lot. Thanks!

	It's possible to write a php-cli script to do the work entirely within php and skip all http access. I have a crude one that I wrote myself that works okay. Although, I had to patch the php sources to allow me to run the php-cli binary as a specified arbitrary user so it didn't screw up all my permissions.
