Thanks for the link. IMO, ImageField is definitely the way to go and
what I currently use in all my sites.<br>
<br>
Among that module, the MAQUM module (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://drupal.org/project/maqum">http://drupal.org/project/maqum</a>,
D5 only), and the EXIF module (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://drupal.org/project/exif">http://drupal.org/project/exif</a>), there's
plenty of potential. A related conversation about the roadmap of the
EXIF module is here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://drupal.org/node/226703">http://drupal.org/node/226703</a>. Looks great but
still a ways off.<br>

style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I
have a large collection of images (11,000 at the moment and growing)
that I'm thinking about using Drupal for. I'm wondering if anyone has
experience doing this and what modules would be beneficial. Using each
image as a node with a decent taxonomy should work great for search and
discovery. Views, lightbox, etc.. would work well for display methods.
However, three questions I do not know the answer to are:<br>
<br>
<br>
1) batch upload, even if only one directory<br>
2) reading EXIF/IPTC image metadata and mapping them to taxonomy terms
and/or CCK fields. 3) syncing attributes (i.e., edits to raw image
EXIF/IPTC can update/reimport the node fields/tags and edits to node
fields/tags can update the EXIF/IPTC metadata.)<br>
<br>
<br>
I'm using Gallery2 right now (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://gallery.menalto.com/" target="_blank">http://gallery.menalto.com/</a>,
<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://drupal.org/project/gallery"
target="_blank">http://drupal.org/project/gallery</a>) and it does
some (item #1 and partially #2) of what I need. It even integrates
nicely with Drupal for users and display of images and albums.
However, I use Drupal for many other sites (and I'd like to use views,
lightbox, tags, etc...) and wondering if I can bypass Gallery
altogether. Any thoughts or experiences out there? Thanks.<br>
