What I was trying to do was to protect the images but they are so many that
linking was an option. But, I have to see if this is a memory problem. I'll
have to do some tests to see if I can import them.

Thanks

Subject: RE: <lingo-l> Importing multiple images problem


I imported several hunderds of images yesterday at once. No problems
whatsoever. A few thing though..

1. Make sure you have enough ram to do this.
2. Make sure your cast you import it in has enough empty members.

should work then..

Or, if you are looking to "protect" the content, use Director to put
the image content into an embedded database. Arca, for instance. Arca
even has a free image import tool you could use to batch catalog them,
which works very well.

The actual problem sounds like a memory issue. Using a database should
remove that, as well as make the overall application perform better.
Why you are getting a memory issue from the import, is tough to say.
