I am running FUDforum 2.7.6. The Avatar Management System “Import Gallery” offers the description that says “Recursively process specified directory, creating avatars from all files with (*.gif, *.jpg, *.png, *.jpeg) extensions.” And further states that “A new gallery will be created for every encountered sub-directory”.
Sounds pretty simple, unfortunately I have not been able to get it to work, I have tried uploading the avatar packs directly to the Avatar sub directory in FUD, both as individual files and in folders, I have tried to upload directly from my hard drive. The best I have been able to accomplish so far is to Manually upload all the individual avatars to FUD and install them individually (very tedious) or leave them on my hard drive and install them individually (even more tedious), I am convinced that there is something that I am not grasping but for the life of me cannot figure it out!

At this time I have one version of FUD that I manually installed 400 Avatars too, and that works beautifully both from the admin panel and profile.
I have a second version that has the avatars, and displays them in the admin panel, but they cannot be accessed from the profile until I manually install them (I loaded these by restoring a backup of the first copy of FUD after the avatars were installed, which causes me to wonder why?) if I click on the select Avatar option they are all there but must be installed individually to be used.
There must be a simple way to install them in a batch form, and to install them in separate folders, but how? I have checked the Forum but cannot find an answer.


I am new to this so explain things very, very carefully!
