[Zope] Image Content

[Peter Bengtsson]

What I do:

I have the original pictures on a spare local drive.
I then use <zope dir>/utlilities/load_site.py (great feature!!) to upload
the JPEGs from my machine to my site as Image objects.
Lastly I have a little python script on my site that loops through all the
directories and converts Image objects into Photo objects, and bins the
Image object.

I would get the same result if I opened the ZMI remotly and upload the JPEGs
as Photos directly. But if I'm on a modem line the silly web browser upload
plus the process time to convert JPEG to Photo, can break the connection
which is very annoying.

Search zope.org for information about the Photo product. It's all quite
simple actually.

Bonne chances, Peter

add each one?

to adding/deleting photos in this scenario - would you have to build it? or
is there something within Zope that allows a non-Zope'er to be able to
access a form to do this maintenace?
