Couple things needing tidying for ease of use - Arrange & Move

There a few things that are not yet consistent throughout the site with organizational tools. Better consistency would tidy things up & also make a few tools much easier to use for many of us. Two examples I've run into several times this week: "Under Tools>Many Photos > Arrange> Drag to Arrange" there's no way to i.d. the photos except by the appearance of the thumbnail. No image numbers, captions, nothing. This is a pain. I couldn't use the tool today because of it. I had concert photos that look too similar. Image #s would have solved the problem. On other arrange tools, there's at least an image i.d. #. This should be consistent.

Another one: When moving photos to another gallery, the list of galleries still appears to be random. If there's an order to it, I can't figure it out. With now hundreds of galleries, I'm tearing my hair out to find the gallery I want to move to. I've noticed that some of the newer tools such as "Collect Photo", etc. offer up a gallery list that at least has an identifiable order to it (by category, I believe). This is so much easier! I hope these things are on the fix list. If not, could we put them on it? Thanks!

    Bump. Just wondering if these things are on the "to be fixed" list.

    I have some changes coming to those tools - mostly consolidation. Your suggestions will be included.

    Would there be some way to just get this very first thing happening really soon rather than making it wait for a whole host of other improvements? (way to i.d. photos during "drag to arrange") I've had people asking me about this since I posted it a couple months ago. I don't want to make a feature request, because it's not a feature. It's just a standard thing everywhere else on the site (during moving, other arranging, deleting, etc. etc. thumbs always have i.d. so you can actually know which is which). The only place they're not i.d.ed at all is with "drag to arrange". I assume it just accidentally got forgotten in the programming. Just wondering-- I've been stumped in several arrange jobs lately; just can't tell which thumb is which. Thanks!

    Let me see what can be done this week. As with every change on the site though - we have to prioritize and right now there are some other things that had to come before these changes. Thanks for you patience!
