For sites created under the latest CMF release, FTP / WebDAV / HTTP PUT
of images into a PortalFolder will result in the creation of Portal Image
objects;  you would still need to go in and set Title and other metadata.

Existing CMF Sites can take advantage of this feature by updating to the
CMF 1.1beta release (or CVS head) and creating a ContentTypeRegistry object
in the CMFSite;  then adding a "MIME-type" predicate which maps all 
"image/*"
types onto Portal Image.
