Mass adding description/titles

[maciekk]

Hi!
is there any possibility to add automaticly many image descriptions/titles in "one move"?
I think about adding a txt file with descriptions/titles or something like this.

If there is no such feature, I will write my own phpcode with this functionality, but I don't want to waste time if something like this exist

If the data is already available in text format, why not just script out the SQL and edit the db records directly?

Data aren't in text format, but it could be, because for me is more comfortable, to write titles and description in text file and then import them to phoca. Especially when I have about 500 descriptions to write

yes, it could be done in mysql, but for some my users it will be better to have a "html-end" tool. Also for me it's more comfortable.

So I understand that, there is no such solution?

Later I will write here my code

I have not encountered that functionality. It would be nice to have a bulk edit section of the admin area. Maybe display the images page, but instead of the standard info, only show the id, thumb, and then editable text fields (or some subset of them), and allow the user to save as many changes as they want.

I'm not sure if this is in the feature request list or not, and I know the Joomla 1.6 updates are the current priority, but as a lower priority update, I can see this being helpful in certain cases.

Good luck with the updates, please post questions along the way and the utility when completed.
