Is it possible to rotate photos using the xmlrpc and smugmug api?

Thanks

Hey Dude,

Not through the API, but if u use ur imagination you should be able to construct a multi-part form encoded POST (similar to the Upload via POST method) that mimics the way the smugmug pages work.

Alright mate!

Sounds like the way forward. I presume this would be the way to do deletes as well.

This is way I used to do deletes, but there is an API method for this now.

Yup, seen it now. Was busy investigating rotation. Would prefer to have an API for rotate than construct a POST command. Easier on smugmugs bandwidth?

It's not bandwidth, it's merely a hassle

Taking into account how much time it takes SM to actually perform the roation, the difference in time you've spent to send exta few hundred bytes would be nay to impossible to notice.

API in general should be more stable to work with, but since it does not cover the whole functionality, "creative browsing" is very often the way to go..
