Apparently relief is in sight,. There is a temporary plug in and it
is available. From what I understand it is under further development
and will be made more publicly available in the near future,
Probably with bells and whistles. Sounds like several of you have
already tackled the problem and come up with various solutions. But
your solutions are all probably based on different versions.
I really admire the versatility of the people on this list and the
way they are willing to share important information.
As far as related theme (below) goes... I am unable to respond as
that is not my need at this point in time. Anyone else? recording
terms with the images via a thesaurus? with the conservation module?

Hello Suzanne/David
A developer could write a script to insert media records in batches.
But, we'd also find it very useful if a plugin could be written to
handle batch media record creation. A good candidate for a bit of
automation.
On a related theme, are you recording terms with images, via the
thesarus? This something that we're looking to do and will shortly
begin a pilot with conservation, using our own trial set of terms.
However, as far as I can work out, it's not possible to query for
terms related to media records from within the Objects module. This
limits the usefulness of recording terms - conservation would like to
be able to do things like: search for 'paintings' in the 'Rousseau'
exhibition with images that illustrate 'cracking' etc from within the
Objects module. Or am I missing something?!

Thanks David,
I have been agonizing about this.
I'm adding each page from many years of sketch books! There has to
be a simpler way.

Suzanne,
I wish there was a quicker way. Even with the Image conversion
program that moves and formats groups of image files to the server
from your workstation, it still takes 23 clicks for each image.
My users are complaining loudly about this tedious method for linking
images and thumbnails to TMS.
This is a good opportunity for someone to write a TMS plugin to
automate this process.
