Hi, I’m working on a project that involves uploading a large number of images organised by my client. I attempted a batch upload using rsync, but the images are not selectable in the Kirby CMS panel. I suspect this is because the images were uploaded without generating the accompanying .txt files that Kirby CMS requires. Is there a way to solve this issue or generate the .txt files without having to upload each image individually through the panel? Thank you, Rob ---

I think if you use the Kirby Cli [GitHub - getkirby/cli: Kirby Command Line Interface](https://github.com/getkirby/cli) and try the `kirby uuid:generate` option, it should generate any missing text files for you. You will need to do that locally of course. ---
