Starting over, mass management of albums - advise please

Opps

I've decided to start all over with my Smugmug account for various reasons (one of them: I get a second account ).

I would like to download and save some albums, and then delete them all to start over. But I can't find a way to do any mass management of albums ... and I get all sweaty of just thinking of going into each album and do each action there (just deleting them would take forever). I tried to find a tool for doing this but failed ... does anyone have any advice for how to do this a bit more efficiently?

I'm in the same boat, I created galleries that I have marked as unlisted, then moved the photos there, then created my new galleries and moved them to the "right" location.

Hope this helps

Yes, that is one way to do it. But did you do it "manually" by going into each gallery and change the settings for it? (this is what I want to avoid - right now it feels like to I've got too many albums

Mass changes on galleries settings is fairly straightforward. But aside from that, operations such as deletions, starting the download all process for each, etc, are all manual processes. :cry

You can sometimes find the url that's actually executing the task and automate it a bit by just pasting that url with variations. I do that for bulk deletions of galleries and even getting to my uploader of choice when I don't want to mouse around.
