basetosmug is a VB6 application for downloading and converting pbase galleries to smugmug albums.

It is now working, so I'm now focusing some of my efforts on making a distributable testing version.

Look for a version 0.1 alpha soon!

basetosmug progress report:

Done:
1) smugmug API authentication
2) smugmug category downloading, parsing, and database dumping
3) simple smugmug album creation
4) smugmug logout
5) Downloading HTML from pbase galleries
6) Parsing HTML from pbase galleries
7) Dumping parsed pbase HTML elements and image links into a database.
8) Downloading "original" images from pbase galleries into a holding location
9) Uploading images into newly created galleries
10) Uploading parsed pbase data elements into galleries with images
11) A progress bar added for image transfer queue progress.

Still to go:
1) General clean-up
2) gzip encoding (kind of neglected that) for image uploads
3) MD5Sum checking (kind of skipped that) for image uploads
4) More error trapping and handling routines
5) Write an installer
6) Streamline interface and add more automation
7) Advanced Album Creation Options (low on my priority list for now)
8) Logging

I'll keep working on it!

If anybody is DESPARATE for a solution now, let me know and I can give you the current build of the EXE and the DLLs without an installer, but you will need to make sure you have the following dependencies correctly installed on your system:
* Microsoft Visual Basic 6 SP6 runtime files
* MSCOMCTL.OCX (VB6 SP6)
* Microsoft Scripting Runtime (scrrun.dll)
* Microsoft XML (MSXML) version 4.0
* Microsoft WinHTTP Services, version 5.1
* Microsoft DAO 3.51
* Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) 2.7
