Re: remote_import - what to do with duplicate gallery names?

I was thinking of that myself as well.  The only thing I came up with  
was maybe to provide a switch to take the folder name as a slug name  
and upload any images in that folder to the gallery with that slug, if  
it can't find one then create the gallery with the folder name as the  
name _and_ the slug (maybe we'd have to perform some magic to make the  
folder name "slug-worthy" but...

Of course, what to do if the slug name is already taken by another user etc...

Another option maybe would be to drop some sort of file into the  
folder, maybe something like .ansel_id, that contains the gallery id  
that the folder was previously uploaded to?  Of course, if you trash  
the folder then recreate it you'd lose the binding, but that might not  
be a bad idea.


Thanks,
