New Guy... Mass Folder Upload(Mac)? Filename?

sprynmr

Hey guys...

Switching over from Menalto's Gallery 2 on my own slow server to new speedy smugmug!

I'm excited to get going, but I need a little help.

If I create one folder, and inside it a bunch of sub folders with images in them... can I upload them so that they create a bunch of separate galleries?

I really don't won't to upload them folder by folder, but I don't want to upload them all to the same gallery and sort them later (one by one.)

Oh and I'm on a mac. What's a guy to do?

Next question... is there anyway to maintain the filename on a photo even after I add a caption? Aside from copying and pasting it? On occasion a friend might IM me a photo to print for them, and I will look up the high quality version on my own computer, but if it doesn't show a filename it would be a pain to look up. What's a guy to do?

Last question... any way for a visitor to download a full gallery?

Thanks guys,
Robert

Hi and welcome to SmugMug and Dgrin!

You might look at PictureSync, one of the 3rd party hacks available.

With our mac uploader, you upload to one gallery at a time.

Yea I don't get PictureSync... I don't understand how you choose which albums you want pictures to go into. The help files aren't very... helpful. If anyone could point out to me how that works I would appreciate it.

When is mac uploader 2 coming out?
