Hi, Im working on a drupal project where I have large masses of images to be categorised... I was wondering if there was a way I could do this without having to upload them individually. I tried image import, but that does not give the option to categorise. The images are in the thousands so individual tagging is not quite feasible. I wanted to group the images (according to event) in albums and was wondering how to go about this.
Thanks.

Hi John,
use image import to upload them... But then use the "taxonomy node operations" module:
http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_node_operations
Beware, it doesn't even come with a readme file nor does it even show up on /admin/by-module. But it is simple, just enable it as normal at /admin/build/modules and then go to:
admin/content/node
It adds so much power to administering nodes.

Well, if you embedded keywords into each of the image's IPTC using an offline client such as Picasa, iPhoto, Lightroom or Aperture, then yes, the images can be uploaded and automatically put into the right categories, though it would be done one by one. I have a CVS account, but haven't gotten around to submitting a module that does just that. Some more information:

I should have some time this week to upload it, as well as some changes I've made. Once I do, if someone sends me a patch that will let a user upload a zip/tar-gzip of images and handle each, I'll add that, in addition to the changes I've got laying around some place.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
