OK, first sjarelkwint I'm not picking on you. But, your test case (some of these ARE test submissions, right?) demonstrates why perhaps the SP world is not ready for a bulk photo uploader.
Second, Michael - you know I've enjoyed & admire your countless climbing submissions from both PNW & The Alps. I know that you've put in a lot of effort in developing this beautiful piece of code.
However, I think that sjarelkwint's test submission case demonstrates exactly why it's not a great idea to have this tool in the hands of the vast majority of SP members. I can see how someone like you could make a great use of it. However, for each member like you there are a 100 (more?) members who will just use it to dump the content of their memory cards onto the rest of us.
From personal experience, the bottleneck of the process is not the actual manual submission effort - it's the presort of the photos that I end up using in say a TR. For me also this is probably the most fun of all steps involved.
Anyway, hope you guys are not offended. This is my 2 cents. Ultimately, with or without this tool, useless submissions will continue I think.
