Well, despite my flu, I also worked on my Phanfare bulk uploader as well. Some of the nice things about Phanfare are that they are inherently date based – all albums are surrounded by date. This is nice because they have only albums and sections of albums, so you can’t have too many sub-sections.
It was a bit tricky to get my date-based and non-date based directory trees to work, but it seems to be going well (I’ve had an upload going for some hours now, a few bugs, but it is soldiering on).
It performs pretty well so far – it will dynamically convert PhotoCD files to JPEG’s and upload them, it will seek out AVI files and upload them appropriately, and manage the directory heirarchy fairly well. Still some bugs, but it is uploading files at the moment.
As my time is running out with my trial with Phanfare, this might be the end of the road for this development. I really enjoyed working with this API, especially the flexibility allowed with the uploading of Videos – nice!
