Please, SmugMug, we need this so badly!! I've already placed a feature request for this here: http://feedback.smugmug.com/forums/17723-smugmug/suggestions/716054-make-it-clear-that-it-s-a-smart-gallery-at-the-top and it has no votes, so I hope everyone will go vote. But honestly, this shouldn't be a feature request. This is a necessity if you have lots of galleries & are used to moving stuff, arranging, etc. We really need to have smart galleries identified as such when we're logged in, in every place galleries are listed in our tools, on the gallery page, sub-category & category page.

Here's why. Here's what happened, & this is only one example. I've had so many times when I needed to know. So remember yesterday in the "Bug Reporting" forum, when I said I'd copied & moved a bunch of photos, but then they disappeared? Well, I lied. I didn't mean to. I didn't know it until I stumbled on my photos accidentally while in another category. I'd made a gallery, "Asheville Downtown", and also set up a virtual (smart) gallery under another category where that gallery fit. Well, I did this a long time ago & completely forgot I had a virtual gallery. I give my gallery-based smart galleries the same name as their original, because I want people to recognize it if they've already seen it under another heading. I simply fill the Smart Gallery by telling to find the photos in the original gallery I set up. So yeah, you guessed it... that's where my moved photos (from archives) went to. They didn't show up in the original Asheville gallery because of course this only works in one direction.

All of this hassle could so easily have been avoided by a simple "Smart" label, icon, whatever... anything that would show the site owner which type of gallery it is. When we move photos, there's no gallery selection by category or sub-category; they're all just randomly thrown together in a huge long list. So it's not easy to see at a glance that you have 2 galleries w/ the same title. And you still wouldn't know which was the virtual one! Please, SmugMug... help us out here. Don't wait around for a feature request. This isn't a feature. This is simply a needed i.d.
