mass import images into Contacts object and Custom Object

I want to mass upload images of a contact in salesforce using scripted data loader if possible.The image of the contact has to be displayed on to the contact record.How should I go about it?

If I create a rich text area field the image when normally uploaded is displayed.But since im mass importing images,i need to find a way to do that using scripted data loader.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

Hi SF Dev, 

 

You may use the existing Free app built by Salesforce labs called picture uploader which is handy to import images for Contacts. 

See the demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bzm2O5FVGM

The App in the exchange: https://appexchange.salesforce.com/listingDetail?listingId=a0N300000016YT5EAM

 

Once you have this installed you may use dataloader to import the images.
