the upload technique. In windows for example, uploading could then simply be
a matter of dragging files onto a folder on the desktop.
Then you could have a cfschedule task that checked the folder and made the
thumbnails. I'd suggest you set it to do this job gradually (say up to 5 at
a time every five minutes or whatever).

That would take a while to run... Uploading 300 images would a long time let
alone the resizing, thumbnails. I wonder how other sites are doing this.

What about putting all the photos to be uploaded
into a folder, running CFDIRECTORY to make a list
of all the photo files, then looping over the list
with a CFFILE upload inside the loop?

I also have an admin page that uploads, creates thumbnail, scales, and
inserts into db. The client now wants upload multiple images at once
now...
up to 300 images and add a watermark. Can anybody recommend how to go
about
this?
Thanks

I have an admin interface where the user uploads the image and the code
drops it into a specific directory (all using cffile). The image path and
filename are written to the database at that time.
When using the imageCr3 tag you want to call the image path and filename
in
the database. The imageCr3 tag will automatically store a cached version
of
the image in a directory you specify (I use d:\cacheimages and add it as a
virtual directory to my websites that use the tag) and will only pull,
resize, and cache the orginal if there is no cached image in the
"cachimages" directory.
As far as updates and deletes, all you will want to do is update and
delete
the database record and use the cffile delete action on the original image
to delete it. As far as I know there is no delete function for the cached
image. It can be done programatically, but I am going to suggest to
Efflare
that they ought to automatically delete cached files not in use after x
days. I don't know how they would do that, but perhaps there is a way.
