Image Uploader - Beta Release

Saturday, January 29, 2005 10:14 PM

The code is ready to try out! Download the file, unzip it, and open the readme.txt file for details. The quick instructions are:

Copy the aspx file to your “admin“ folder
Copy the files in the “bin“ folder to your “bin“ folder

Then you can hit the aspx file directly with: http://{server}/{application}/admin/BulkImageImporter.aspx. From there, you'll need a Zip archive of either a Picasa web export (XML format), or a Zip archive of folders containing pictures (for the Generic option). Many more details in the readme. Sorry it's not easier to make sense of. I should probably provide some sample archives to make it clearer.

UPDATE I've made a bug fix or two and released a new version. Read more about it and download it here

Trying to use your importer, as I have LOTS of pics. But, of course, so do you... Anyway; getting this error when I try to hit the page...

I think I found the issue. This bug will occur if you don't have at least one gallery already set up on your site. If you don't mind, create a gallery (no picture upload needed) and try the uploader URL again. If that fixes it I can have an updated version out pretty quickly. Thanks for letting me know about the issue! I'm glad someone decided to try it anyway!! 2/17/2005 3:22 PM | Arian

# re: Image Uploader - Beta Release

That sure enough fixed the problem. Please let me know if/when you have an update...

On another note; Picasa no longer seems to have the ability to export to web. THey appear to have locked it down to Blogger only...

Do you have a previous version of Picasa I can d/l?

Thanks! 2/21/2005 12:56 AM | vern

# re: Image Uploader - Beta Release

What version are you using? I believe I have the newest version (2.0.0, build 18.77), and in the Folder (or Label, depending on what you are viewing) menu, you can select the "Export as Web Page" command. From there, choose your size and folder, and select XML Code for the Web Page Template. Then just zip up the resulting files (you can ignore the thumb folder) with the index.xml at the top-level of the archive. I should probably post a sample zip archive to clear up any confusion on this point. I think I'll add that with the updated version of the code. 2/21/2005 10:00 AM | Arian

# re: Image Uploader - Beta Release

You're right; I see it now...

I actually got the previous version and was able to figure out how to upload no problem.

THANK YOU FOR THIS ADDIN! When I get some time, I am going to be creating lables for my pics and mass-adding them to my galleries.

Thank you again! 2/21/2005 11:54 AM | vern

Hey, http://ariankulp.com/downloads/DottextBulkImageImporter.zip is a broken link.
I'd like to try it out. Can you post it again?

Thx! 2/28/2005 9:36 AM | gEORGE

# re: Image Uploader - Beta Release

Sorry, I moved some files around and you got in right while I was doing it! That link works now, but there is a new version. Check it out here: http://ariankulp.com/archive/2005/02/27/30.aspx 2/28/2005 9:49 AM | Arian
