Actually, you can use the page scanner for this. Under 'Page 
Actions' you have an option 'Scan' which will find files under a 
directory tree that haven't yet been brought into OI and bring them in.

But onto the problem...

This is an action configuration error. If you add:

c_display_add_template    = base_page::page_form

under [page] in base_page-x.xx/conf/action.ini you should get a 
little farther. I've committed this but haven't yet tested it. (day 
job and all that...)

The base_page package is probably the one that will *internally* 
change the most before 2.0 is released. Externally it should work 
exactly the same but there are still a few OI 1.x-isms in 
OI2::Action::Page. It's probably the most complicated action in OI 
and it may be a good idea to split some of the functionality off 
into separate actions...

Nope, just more bugs....
