Facebook image uploader tidbit

I rewrote the previous example to be a bit simpler such that it basically is just an application you can use to select a directory and upload all of the images in it, and optionally all subdirectories, into an album that you describe. It will then split the images up into groups of 60, the maximum images per album, and then create as many albums as necessary to upload all of the images ( Appending "Part x" as necessary to the album name). If your like me and have a lot of pictures, this is a pretty useful utility. I ran into a hidden limit however when trying to upload 1152 images from my backpacking trip. Facebook only allows you to have a maximum of 720 pictures that are in the approval queue, at which point it returns an error to your application. So I had to go delete all of the 20 albums from a previous upload, then re-upload the watch the upload to approve the albums a they were uploaded to prevent this limit from being reached. I'll post the application with source code soon.
