[support] node image bulk upload?

[sander-martijn]

Thanks, I checked out the first option which would be perfect  (haven't 
tried the second yet) and realized I have to clarify something.  The 
image_import module creates image nodes.  What I have set up is 
node_images, where you can attach images to a node.  Currently you have 
to do this one at a time.  There will be a lot of Nodes (probably about 
50-60 maybe more, each representing a gallery) and there will be about 
5-10 images attached to each node.  I'm looking for a way to either 
upload all the images by ftp and then pull them into the the nodes or 
have multiple upload fields display on the node at a time so that 
several can be attached at once.

thanks
