Description

The ability to upload a .zip or other archive of images and order them as needed in the Media Module, with descriptions to be added manually (or through some snazzy AJAX powered interface), as well as the ability to bulk import an entire folder that already exists.

Such as:
Bulk import /images/photos/holiday1/ or upload holiday1.zip containing all the images. As for naming the items, simply convert underscores to spaces and remove the file extention from the filename, then they can be renamed later if needed.

Feature #187 zip archive of media items can be uploaded

The Uploader/Uploader_File lib and Media module have been tweaked to allow for
an upload of multiple items, making it easier to add many images to a media
category

- Added Uploader::extractArchives()
- Refactored code in Uploader_File lib to easily allow for extraction of zip/tar
files
- Looping over Uploader_File::getDetails() returns details of each file (which
could be those in the extracted archive)
- Medium 'medium' images are now generated on-the-fly (cached) so the size can
easily be changed and the changes will take effect
- Image::prepareDestination() will now make the directory if possibe
- Added Image::destroy() to destroy the image resource
- Added zula_supports() to check if the server environment supports features
- Added zula_make_unique_dir() and zula_make_unique_file() to generate a random
dir/file name with the ability to create it

Something like this is needed quite badly I agree, I'll plan on getting it into the new media module (post 2.4)
