Seems.. sounds promising. Unfortunily I don't have the understanding of PHP to use it effectively. I need a gui interface.

I have just posted the release of ZenSync2 on my blog. It is a major new version of the orignal ZenSync created by Dan Richardson.

ZenSync helps you to transfer your images from your local file system to your ZF galleries. It parses a given directory tree and uploads all photos to ZF galleries which are not already there. It is written in PHP5 and runs on any desktop or server with PHP installed.

The story behind is that in May 2009 I was searching for a new way to upload my photos to my ZF galleries and found ZenSync. It's approach is so amazing. It perfectly integrates into my workflow. I'm using Adobe Lightroom for organizing and developing of my photos and although there is the Zenfolio plugin, which is also a great tool, ZenSync fits even better into my workflow. The LR-plugin with its graphical user interface is great for uploading a small amount of images to just one gallery. When repeatedly uploading larger amounts of images which maybe should go to different galleries, some reliability issues come up with the plugin.

As I was starting to use ZenSync I soon had some ideas of how to improve it for my use cases. After some long nights of coding with lots of coffee I found that I should contact Dan about making the enhancements usable for the ZF-community. OK, lot of words, here is the release.

You can find information about the new ZenSync2 and download it on my blog here.
Additional information about ZenSync can be found on Dan's blog here.

Thanks a lot to Dan who had this great idea for this tool and for doing the hard job of the first version! Enhancing it was easy.
