batch uploads

[Peeker]

This may be unique or not but I'm setting up a gallery that will eventually have 200-300,000 images online. When I try to do a batch add in a directory with currently 8,000 files in it the script seems to freeze for up to 2 hours before I have to exit and try again, is there a way to limit the number of files imported at a time? or to speed this process up??

Thanks for any help you can provide....

Try this plugin: CpgMassImport.

Create a folder structure that makes sense - you would not want 8,000 pics to end up in one album, as nobody on earth will actually look at such an album.

While I really appreciate your insight on the subject rather than giving me your opinioun of how my board should be run I was only asking for a solution to the problem. This particular directory is a private folder for members of a picture trading group that will act as an archive for the pictures since yahoo will not save these files online any more. and the members of this group certainly will look at them. But thanks for your advice.
