Okay, so the native client just let me copy and paste in maps into the /appdata/ folder and magically they'd be available in FG.

In unity version, the only thing I can do to import a map in is:

- manually add a map one at a time

is this just me or am I missing how to go about adding the several hundred maps we've collected over the years into my new campaign?

Welcome to the FG forums!

See the steps in the Wiki here: https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FGU/pages/951023/Using+the+Assets+Window+for+Tokens+Portraits+and+I mages#Add-Image-to-Campaign

If you have "several hundred maps" it would be much more efficient to make a module from those so that you keep them in one place. And also add LoS, image effects, etc. to them in a base "module making" campaign then then export once to a module and then use those maps in any campaign.

Add your map images to your campaign image folder in the appdata folder and from the Image/maps dialogue, you can import everything in your campaign assets to your images. (see screenshot on how)

while it still involved some clicking to get the images in my respective folders, this was by far what I was looking for.

thanks!
