Copying Multiple Photos

travischance

Is there a way to copy an entire gallery to another? There is the option to "move to gallery" or "move to multiple galleries" but I only want to copy. Any advice?

Thanks Allen - you mean I have to pay addition for this feature?!?!?! I think the good folks at SM should have this app available....

so we could allow you to have multiple copies of a photo, that we'd have to pay storage for? When we already allow unlimited storage. Hm. That sounds like bad business to me.

We'll build and release smart (virtual/dynamic) galleries instead.

Andy:

If I copied photos individually and posted to other galleries, that would equate to paying for additonal storage for the same photo(s) right? All of mine (including yours & most others) photos shown on their slideshow are from other galleries. Thus the same photos are in two or three different places right???

I don't think this is bad business - I think it gives your users the ability to move and copy photos quickly without spending all day doing so.

HI Travis, I'm sorry we're not buliding this feature we're instead building the ability to have one photo stored and seen in many different galleries. It's the smart way to do it.

Thanks!

Thanks Andy:

That solves the issue - all I want is to take my slideshow photos and allow viewers who do not have the latest flash or pc's whose work firewalls do not support flash to see those photos. Having them in a seperate stand-alone gallery eliminates this

they don't need latest flash, but I think we're 8xxx and above? Anyhow, this is like 99.something + percent of the computers out there.

Say I want to give certain people full access ("pass word") and the rest "right click protected." I wanted to make two galleries with the same photos with different security settings. How can I do this?
