I was adding some pics to my 4image gallery thing and it got me wondering if there was a photo gallery out there that would allow me to upload a whole bunch of photos and make the thumbnails automatically, 4 image is good if I wanted to name them all and make comments, but I find it slow to just add a group of photos that don't need comments or what not.

I image there is one and preferably one that would be easy to intergrate into my site, 4image is nice cause I can edit all the templates quick and easy.

You might check out Snaps! (http://labs.sonicdesign.us/projects/Snaps!/) - and if it does not do exactly that, contact sonicgroup (http://forums.iwdn.net/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=8) :)

Snaps! will create thumbnails automatically, but it cannot batch-upload images (yet). I haven't had the time to work on it lately, so it's been out for a while in its current form. I do have some other changes (including batch uploading) and new features that I was planning on adding, but I haven't had the time to get those into the release version.

The batch uploading is what I really need, like I would put like 40-50 files up but I have to select them one at a time its a pain. I guess I will keep searching, but Snaps! looks good.

Not sure if this is what you're wanting but i've got a "mini" gallery system that just requires uploading images via FTP, and creates thumbnails on the fly if they don't exist.

Example: http://progress.lackofsanity.com/misc/camaro/ just let me know if you want the source. :)

Yeah, I needed something simple and quick, and not bloated like coppermine or Gallery

That works great for what I need, got me thinking though, how hard would it be to make it so that say if you put a new directory with more pics in it to show up as another section on the page?

I hope that makes sense

(I do take it you want a PHP solution? I realized we have that already for ASP actually.)
