How to bulk upload to Gallery?

Hey TDF people,

I'm wondering what is the most efficient way to bulk upload images to the Gallery website?

Right now when you go to upload images, it gives you these options:

From Web Browser
From Web Page
Windows XP
WebDAV
Gallery Remote
Upload Applet

However, none of these worked for me besides the first one, and it's pretty slow to upload images. There's a lot of "click mileage" (meaning you have to click around a lot to get anything done, which is slow). You have to click "add more uploads" and then upload each individual file, there's not a bulk upload option. Even the forum posts have the ability to upload more than one image at a time, but not the Gallery sadly.

I looked at all the other methods too, but none of them worked.
The "from web page" only works with HTTP not HTTPS, and when I tried to point it to an existing thread of mine, it wouldn't work.
The "Windows XP" thing didn't work, I tried downloading the registry file editor, and ran it, but no luck. I imagine it's because Windows XP is really old and unsupported at this point, and it won't work in Windows 10.
The link for WebDAV is broken, so no idea how to use that
The Gallery Remote link is also broken, it's a 404 on sourceforge now
The upload applet is also just busted and doesn't work (I think embedded Java applets were sunsetted a few years back now)

Does anyone have a better, more efficient workflow for uploading images in bulk to the Gallery? :D

It would help if you clearly indicate about what gallery you are talking. ;)

Looks like you ask about Coverdoll Gallery. That software is ancient.

You better ask Swan or Nescio50 about this.
