Do I have to upload images into an album one at a time?   We do not want to have a discription for each image, we just want a place to put our event images so our associates can view them in thumbnail version, then if they wish they can switch view or download a printable version.

My solution is similar, but you don't need to upload an Alpha or Omega image:

1) On your DNN Gallery page module create the album in the gallery.

2) FTP to your site the path by default should be something like \Portals\0\Gallery\'the_number_for_your_gallery'\'the_folder_you_made_in_the_gallery'

3) Go to the folder labeled _source and upload all your images.

4) Go back to your DNN Gallery that you created and open Maintainance, Select All then click syncronize. Even with 100 files it should syncronize fairly quickly.

5) Return to the Gallery and you should see all your images in file name order.
