Well, the entire operation took maybe 20 minutes. I connected a graphics tablet for the occasion, which made click-click-clicking the pictures relatively quick.

Well, the entire operation took maybe 20 minutes. I connected a graphics tablet for the occasion, which made click-click-clicking the pictures relatively quick. I did actually weigh that time against how long it might take me to find/learn/use the API, but 20 minutes for a one-time task seemed preferable. Plus I could listen to podcasts. Honestly, the painful part was re-importing all the original images and rebuilding all the galleries. But there was a convenient mandatory all-day online management training coming up at work that proved perfect for the job. That part took a good six hour, modulo some management training nonsense.
