collect photos : should be able to collect to multiple galleries

philiptdotcom

"Collect photos" should allow "collecting" to MULTIPLE GALLERIES just as you can MOVE photos to multiple galleries. *

Questions:
1) Does my problem description make sense?
2) Can you replicate it?
3) Do you agree that it's a problem?
4) Approximately when can we expect a solution?

*I say "just as" with the caveat that the problems with moving to multiple galleries should be solved (e.g., inability to create new galleries on the fly, etc.).

Aloha,

P.S. - As a general comment (to SM), it seems like utilities like this are created piecemeal, one-at-a-time; this results in inconsistent user interface and loss of functionality when things like this that should be included are not (re-)written. SM should consider re-using existing code/interfaces for similar functionality, e.g., the "move" process and the "collect" process are EXACTLY the same (just substitute the verb "collect" for every time the verb "move" is used: looks to me this is why object-oriented/coding re-use principles were invented!!)

Hi Philip. Thanks for your input. This is a feature request and not a bug so there is nothing to replicate because nothing is broken. You are asking for additional functionality. You can add any feature requests that you have here: http://feedback.smugmug.com/pages/17723-smugmug. That way you can make sure others have not already suggested it and if they have you can vote on it so we can see what you find important to add to the site.

Although the process of moving and collecting images may seem very similar to your view, they are very different as to how they are handled on the back end of the site.

Thanks for your input, we always appreciate knowing how we can make the site better.
