I'd really like to see a Gallery 1.x import tool when Gallery 3 is ready to launch. It will help many of us upgrade. From the looks of Gallery 3's current image importer tool (when importing from the local filesystem), it would not be difficult to write a script to to import Gallery 1.6 images... you just import everything in the picture storage directory, album by album. Simply pick the album directory and grab all images except for the *.sized.jpg and *.thumb.jpg images. No need to import the old album settings in my opinion. Can't wait to modernize my website by moving from Gallery 1.6 to Gallery 3 when it's ready. kelly |

Although I must say Gallery 1.x has been very good to me, running without a glitch since 2002.

What about item and album descriptions, names, summaries, comments etc?
As bharat said it might require a upgrade to G2 first but the community might have a import tool in time as well.

Including item and album descriptions would be nice. The rest would be optional... I noticed when importing G1 into G2 it truncates the descriptions to a certain length, I don't know if G3 has the same limits to the field length. So it would be cleaner and easier just to import G1 into G3, I suspect there are still quite a few G1's out there.
If someone else doesn't build this first I may try to write it myself... would be a good way to learn about G3 plugins I suppose.
