**Thanks to Bob at [Mustardseed Media](http://mustardseedmedia.com) for [tweeting](http://twitter.com/mustardseedinc/status/14713096905) about this module. It's undoubtedly saved me hours of work today alone!**
I've recently started a personal project converting a website to Drupal. It's currently a static HTML/CSS site which also uses the [Coppermine Photo Gallery](http://coppermine-gallery.net). As part of building the new website, I wanted to move all the photos from the existing site onto the new one. However, with 1260 photos in 17 albums, this could have been a lengthy process!

I created a new Drupal-powered Gallery as described in [this screencast](http://lullabot.com/articles/photo-galleries-views-attach) by [Jeff Eaton](http://twitter.com/eaton) - using the CCK and Imagefield modules, and re-created each of my existing Gallery nodes. Using the [Imagefield_Import](http://drupal.org/project/imagefield_import) module, I was then able to quickly import the photos into the new Galleries.

I downloaded all the photos from the previous Gallery via FTP, and installed and configured the Imagefield_Import module.

I created an 'Import' folder, selected the target field and mode. In this case, I want each image to be imported into its own Photo node. I moved the photos for the first album into the Import folder, and loaded the 'Import Images' screen <em>(admin/content/imagefield_import)</em>.

Just another 1248 photos to go...
