I am importing from my G 1.3.3 install which made use of Use symlinks (symbolic links). If your server is on unix and your images are local to the server and accessible and you would like to have the server create symlinks to your images instead of copying them to your gallery check this box.
Tip: FTP images to a directory on your server then provide that path here!

Anyone have any thoughts on how I might import while maintaining the symlinks? The g1 instaler

You sure you used gallery? I've never heard of symlinks in G1 :)

ok you two, maybe try thinking a little? perhaps adamsjd is trying to add into G2 using G2's symlink feature which brings in the images but doesn't import captions, etc.
adamsjd, why do you want to symlink to your G1 images? disk space issue? we assume you've taken a look at the migration module which will import captions and put all the subalbums in the right place, etc.
