Which Gallery is it?

I noticed that unless I add some kind of "marker" to identify what Gallery it is, that this can come very confusing when you want to move pictures around but they share the same Gallery name.

For example, if I want to move a picture from one gallery to another, but they happen to share the same name "places" (i.e Home>Landscapes>Places and Home>Travel>Places), how the heck will I know which one belongs to which Gallery as the drop down at the "Choose an existing gallery" shows ONLY the Gallery name, but doesn't show which Category it belongs to. It shows the same gallery names (that share the same name) BUT not which Category it belongs in...?!

Am I missing something here..or do I need to add a number or some special character if I want to use the same gallery name with other categories?:huh

Doesn't it make sense to list it in the drop down WITH the Category name before it if they are sharing the same gallery name..?!

    For now, you'll need to ID them uniquely - hopefully we'll have a better way in the future.

    ok, yes, I'm going to temporarily add an identifier to the gallery names..and delete it after the transfer. To be honest though, this seems rather an important "bug" that needs to be fixed. Seems like there would be a simple way to add the category name before the gallery at the "Choose an existing gallery" drop down that would easily let us identify which exact gallery it is that we are transferring to..headscratch.gif

    One of the things I have noticed is that the most recently created gallery will be listed last in the dropdown. Maybe not for all tools, but it does this for the mass move tool. thumb.gif
