Upload of zipped images

Can I upload a single zip of my images, instead of every single image?

Can Zenphoto read zip files and extract images automatically to create an album?

    Borg: but bear in mind, that those ZIPs should be under 2 Mb in size. I have also ran into this limitation, yesterday. So that meant I could not just add 50 Mb zip to the server, I had to create ZIPs with 3-4 pics in each, and upload them this way.

    Or is not it so, developers?

    Thank you.

    It may that the zip script also exeeds some other php memory limit. If you really need to upload that much mb or that many images at once I would suggest always to use ftp. There is no limit then (except available webspace..:-)).

    acrylian: thank you, that was exactly my thought. So I will just provide the FTP account to the people who will need to upload more pics at once. Understood :) Thank you for the quick reply.

    You can configure the upload limit in your PHP.ini file. However, your server may still have lower limits than you choose to set.

    Normally I upload images by FTP.
    What I would like to know is: if I upload zip, can I save space on my host?

    Thanks to all!

    No, the images will be unziped after the upload, so the result is no different from if you FTPed them there.
