So you need to update your Gallery2 from your Mac? There are built in utilities that work with any OS from Gallery2 but they are all a bit heavy if you have a large picture library. I by no means have the biggest but it’s around 1500 pictures right now which is too much for an FTP upload or the web interface.

Most Mac users are using iPhoto and with the release of iLife ’09 comes iPhoto ’09. I had a plugin that worked with iPhoto ’08 called Gallery2Export. It worked well, simple yet functional. After installing the new version of iPhoto Gallery2Export wouldn’t allow me to open the Export window in iPhoto.

After some digging around, I found another plugin called iPhotoToGallery. I have uploaded about 200 picutres so far using it and it is working quite well. It seems a little slower than I would like. I have been used to the Windows XP “Publish to” feature which is quite fast. I would actually bet that the iPhoto upload took about twice as long to upload my pictures than did the Windows XP upload util.
