Setting thousands of products automatically

Hi,
I am an event photographer and would like to use Zen Cart to set up an online shop to sell my photos. A "product" in my site would be a downloadable photo.

I have thousands of photos to post however, and setting up a new product for each photo doesn't make sense as it would take a huge amount of time. Is there an automated way in Zen Cart to automatically create a new product for each photo I upload to my site?

If not, any idea of what would be the best way to do this?

Thanks!

Re: Setting thousands of products automatically

No problem...
TIPS

Don't try and load more than 500/1000 products at a time.
Prepare your images first...
EACH product requires UNIQUE model number
Use OPEN OFFICE not Excel
