[ome-users] Batch import of images AND attachments

[Graeme Ball]

Hi John,

we wanted to do the same thing, and ended up writing a python script that
performs the upload in 2 steps:-
1. upload the images using the command line importer (you can invoke it
from python)
2. use the Blitz gateway to add attachments and annotations

The biggest problem is that the importer does not seem to return the ID of
the image after completing the upload, and you need this ID to add your
attachments etc. I resorted to the horrible hack of checking all image IDs
before and after import, which can obviously go wrong if a lot of imports
are happening at the same time.

Regards,

Graeme
