Smugmug Gallery Management

tfd888

I've been looking through the forums for anything regarding easy management of all my Smugmug galleries and categories since I am looking at a site redesign and want to re organize my galleries. From what I found, the 3rdparty Firefox plugin Smugbrowser was the answer for a period of time, but the download links in all the forum posts from a few years back no longer work nor is it supported in the newest versions of Firefox and it appears no one has updated it.

Is there anything out there I have missed that will help with reorganizing and applying mass changes to galleries in my Smugmug account? I really don't want to have to go gallery by gallery for 300+ galleries:help , that would be pretty unrealistic. Unless I've missed it in the help pages, it seems to be a feature Smugmug is sorely missing, especially for their Pro Business accounts where I imagine it would be most needed for pros adding new work all the time.

You can change the Category and Sub-Category or almost any gallery feature on multiple galleries at once using the multiple gallery tool in the gallery settings. Did you get a chance to read this help page?

The "multiple galleries" feature in gallery settings has been a life saver when it comes to speeding up mass changes across my site.

But for those who have an extensive category structure, I would love to add one simple change: In addition to the "All of my galleries" checkbox, they should have one that is "All of my galleries in this category/subcategory". 99% of the time when I'm making a change, it is to a subcategory full of galleries. Currently, I have to manually select each of sometimes 50 galleries (from an event - we shoot a lot of sports), each with four clicks. So 200 clicks later I finally have all the galleries selected. I think this simple fix will make this so much more powerful!

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the tool as it stands, but it can be so much better. And really I have no idea what the coding would look like, but it seems fairly simple in concept. What do you guys think?

I've always wanted something that helped select galleries. I have over 2000, and I basically don't use any of the mass tools and instead write scripts or API code to get things done.
