New-site - Caption/keywords

Allen

Where do I go to bulk edit a gallery for captions and keywords?

Where do I go to crop a gallery of thumbs?

I go into single edit photo details in a gallery and I can not see the photo behind the
edit box so have to guess what's all in the photo especially adding keywords.

Aha! Finally. A question I know the answer to. And over the years Allen, you've helped me out numerous times.

Go to Organize > Organize Site > select the gallery > click on the wrench > select Caption & Keywords

Can't help with your second question though. Sorry.

Nothing more ridiculous then leaving the gallery to do gallery stuff.

Amen!! One of the many questionable design decisions.

disagree completely. The organizer is the bomb! Just use it and embrace it - so much faster and easier.

I just gave my site an enema, losing tons of crap that I no longer need there, and it took about 10 minutes.

I, for one, agree with that statement, but I don't think the criticism is about functionality. It is that all this is very new and it is not intuitively obvious where to go to accomplish a task. Especially when it seems it should reside under function A instead of under function B.

To my simple brain "Organize" means to move things around. Captioning and Keywording seems to me to be a Gallery related activity.

Therefore it seems like it is simply residing in the wrong place. Plus of course, I had to keep clicking all over creation until I clicked on the correct wrench. Now I just hope I'll be able to remember that fact when I have to do this again.

Ahahahahahha! Oh _ _ _ _ , I wish so badly that I were really truly laughing a big hearty belly-laugh right now! It's so disturbing and mind-bogglingly frustrating to keep reading all these woes. I really hoped I would be laughing giddily--- I honestly didn't think they were gonna get so silly with the tools, I mean, I figured, tools just got overhauled not that long ago & they're in decent shape. (& a lot of bugs have gotten ironed out; the rest we're at least used to!) I thought they'd let most of that functionality be, & it would maybe get better / less glitchy... certainly not worse. And Allen, you and I are sorta in the same boat in some ways cuz of having gazillions of galleries, so I salute you for your courage to try this beast... I'm not there yet. I'll surely be checking now & then to see how you've survived.

But the thing is, in other ways we're like night & day, because you at least understand coding & can maybe get this thing into submission in a way. I will, however, be reduced to going around asking the same, mind-numbing questions of all of you brains in a few months or whenever I'm able to brave the mess... "how do you move the blah-blah to the blah-blah?" and all that same crap I had to ask 5 or so yrs ago. Ugh, I thought I wouldn't have to go through all that again. Be prepared for my also asking you to send around one of your vultures to pick up my dead body parts after I've gone over the brink with the changeover... :giggle :puke

Stop reading and start doing.
