Is there an alternative way to upload my Picasa2 zip files (which contain my pictures and the images.xml file) besides using 'Add Items->From Picasa2'?

My captions are stored in Picasa, so I want to use Picasa to import my pictures. However, my exported Picasa zipped files are very large, so when I attempt to upload them using the Add Items->From Picasa2 in my web browser, it basically crashes or stalls. Since I have about 80 picasa exported zip files I need to upload, it's also impractical to manually select the files from my web browser.

I tried to upload the Picasa zip file to my web server, and then use the "from local server" upload option, but this basically treated the images.xml and other files within the Picasa zip as pictures and did not upload the captions.

I'm using Gallery 2.1.1. Thank you.
