Importing into XMedia

[David Emberling]

I'm trying to create a catalog of my images in Expressions. Some of my image folders contain Photoshop Web galleries. When I try to import folders with Web galleries, Expression crashes. The error message says that it couldn't import the index.htm file (a necessary part of the web gallery). Is there a way around this? At the moment, I'm just not including folders with web galleries, but it means that some of my files won't be catalogued.

David,
I try hard to exclude my web galleries from cataloging. I find that it just leads to duplication and confusion.
What's the reason to catalog these?

Dear Peter,
When I make a web gallery to show a client or prospect, I usually leave it in the folder with the rest of the assignment it came from. So, when I'm adding folders to the catalog, it's already in there. I guess I could keep the galleries in a separate folder, since they don't seem to import into the catalog anyway.

That's what I do - move to a separate folder.
