And apologies if this question is posted in the wrong list.

The Update option is exactly what I was looking for, but now I run to a new
problem.
I used the DAM Tools  "Check Index" and "Check Uploads", then ran the
dam_ttnews Update feature again. Now everytime I run the update, the browser
is timing out after 120 seconds. I have relaxed several of the server and
browser timeout settings, but I still get a connection timeout error in the
browsers. I have hundreds of tt_news images that need converting to DAM
Image equivalents.

The script seems to keep running for 20+ mins on the server, even after the
browser connection has timed-out.

Unfortunately, I am not a programmer. Can the class.ext_update.php script be
modified to either return a partial result after 100 seconds or can some
data be issued to the browser to keep the connection alive?

Many thanks,
David.
