Multiple Image Upload
I have hundreds of static jpg image files which I would like to import into the Kentico 5.0 CMS system, but can only see that you can upload one image at a time.

Please can you advise on how I can do a bulk image upload into the database?

RE:Multiple Image Upload
Hello,

I would suggest you to use our Media library module, which is build exactly for this purpose. You can simply upload the files using FTP and they are loaded into the interface. They are not saved in the database, which is also better for the performance of the site. For more information please see our documentation.

Best regards,

RE:Multiple Image Upload
Hi,

I've been trying ti upload multiple images using batch processing... e.g. I copied all the images into the file system in the correct folder and then when I select all un-imported images and click on "Import" as described in the in http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/index.html?media_libraries_overview.htm I get the following error:
