Newsite: Batch edit keywords?

GoodEye · August 2, 2013

Where can I find the keyword editor? I need to strip a few keywords across multiple galleries, but can't see how with the new site design...

Organize > Organize site
Wrench icon at top > Captions and Keywords

I can only get that to work within a gallery. How do you batch edit keywords across the whole site?

On the legacy you could go to an individual keyword page and bulk edit there.

Yes, it was very useful. Trying to figure out how to do it on the new site. When I browse by keyword, then go to Organize, the organizer goes back to the folder view instead of viewing by keyword.

Keyword editing help - any progress?

Has anyone found a solution in the new and "improved" Smugmug? I kind of can't believe they'd make me click on each individual photo to set / change its keywords. Bulk photo caption/keyword page my foot.

It's not worth the yearly fee if it eats into an hourly wage like that.

It's only a keyword gallery that does not work. Regular galleries do work in bulk edit caption/keyword.
Although it's all done on the Organizer page now.

Go into Organizer.
Click the gallery to make it active.
Click the wrench icon.
Select Captions & Keywords

Denise, thanks for your reply. However my issue stands.

On the page you're directing me to, I still have to select photos by clicking on each one to change keywords. Even a click-and-drag option to select more than one photo at once is not available. So whether it's on the gallery or on the "keywords & captions" page, Smugmug's bulk editing method is way too outdated for me to use on 1,000's of photos.

The gallery DOES have a shift-select or ctrl-select function that lets me pick lots of photos (for moving around). Why this wouldn't extend to editing keywords is a complete mystery.

No, you don't. You can change all captions and keywords for the photos in a single gallery in the same way that you did in Legacy.

Go into the organizer.
Click on a gallery to select it.
Then click the wrench and select Captions & Keywords.

You will then see the same tool you saw in legacy smug.
