Bulk uploads?
 

is there any feature for bulk uploads?

eg: if I have like 1000 I want to upload in one shot to a particular category, could I do so?

ATM the Pro version lets you set how many upload boxes you want, but this isn't apropos for 1,000 files. FTP import should be able to handle a large number of files, but this probably won't be available until Pro v.2.1.2.

ic ic. bummer that's a big one for me as I have lots of images I want to get into a gallery right away.

any thoughts on an importer from vbaGallery or PP Pro?

Import scripts won't be available until PhotoPlog Pro has all of the 'standard' gallery features, so that an import can do its best to import in one go.

any progress on a bulk uploader or PP importer?

The FTP import feature remains on the tentative feature list for v2.1.2. See this thread for the complete tentative feature list. :)
