Mass Import plugin for cpg1.5.x
Joachim Müller:
Mass Import gives the admin the ability to import large numbers of pictures organized by directory structure. The plugin is a port of the Mass Import plugin for cpg1.4.x.
The mass import works similarly to the batch-add process, but it allows you to add an entire structure of folders, subfolders and files to be added in one go. The plugin will create categories and albums that correspond to the folder names. It will then loop though the files in the structure and batch-add them to the database and create the resized images.
Use this plugin as well if you have issues with the regular batch-add process consuming too many resources.
You can download the tarball from the SVN: http://coppermine.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/coppermine/branches/cpg1.5.x/plugins/mass_import.tar.gz?view=tar if you know your way around. To download the plugin as a zip file package, click here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/coppermine/files/Plugins/1.5.x/cpg1.5.x_plugin_mass-import_v3.4.zip/download
Attached is a screenshot of the plugin "in action". Due to the nature of the plugin (it is admin-only) there is no demo available. The plugin will add another admin menu item named "mass import" next to the batch-add button.
Please understand that I will not support you in the usage of this plugin, so it's sort-of "take it or leave it".
Here's the content of the readme file that comes with the plugin:

Flux and Paul Van Rompay contributed code to improve the functionality.
Joachim Müller ported the plugin for cpg1.5.x and spiced up the output a bit.

papukaija:
Great plugin. The Finnish translation is added to this message.
sammyd109:
When using this plugin to import file structures that contain several level of folders, what sort of structure of albums or categories will be used? Will they follow the folder structure or will they simply import the pictures into a mass album?

That's an admin account. Posting an admin account publicly is silly. I have logged in and changed the password of that account. I have edited your posting above. Remove that account from your gallery.
The mass import plugin is not installed in your gallery, so what should the test user account do? Don't expect to be spoon-fed. Stop wasting our time - all you're doing is causing extra moderation effort.
