hope would catch viruses. One thing I am thinking of is bandwidth. If
I upload over the lan it is a moot point, but over the wan 50 full jpegs
from a digital camera is significant amount of data (100mb maybe), which
can be compressed fairly efficiently via zip. Thus the net time to
upload would be less. Also this would get me around the apparent
multiple upload limitation. After the files are uploaded I am thinking
I just use cfexecute to invoke cli winzip to unzip them, update the db
with the information and invoke the imageprocessor to slice and dice the
pics. I too don't know crap so this might be a very bad idea, but it
seems to make sense (to me).

sure but realistic? no
like i said, i maybe wrong cause i dont know crap but......
1st thing to look at would be your server. If its yours then ok but if u
host then i wouldnt think many hostes would let u do that. Why? because
there would be no way to catch a virus or an unaccaptable script type
until its being run and then rut roh, houston we have a problem
now i could see doing something like this in flash (same issue above
though) where you could upload the folder run the pic names into xml &
make a photo gallery but you still wont have captions
i made this site 4 my gf (still working on...sometimes, lol)
www.4best-friends.com, my first real attempt at a flash site with
coldfusion back end. look at her photo album, there are over 350 pix and
it took her about 10 minutes to upload them all with the method i gave
earlier. i think thats fairly resonable time.
