Replace does not work from RecentPhotos/Lightbox

Hi...

i have a custom page "Activity" where i do have a recent photos content block.

If i open a photo in lightbox and select Tools > Organize > Replace all i get is a black screen with "Replace" and "Back to gallery". No photo, no file selection is possible. See screenshot.

Using tools/replace from lightbox inside of a gallery does work for me, just not from the recent photos content block on my custom page.

    This bug is still active and nearly one year old... recent photos content block = no replace from the wrench/toolbox menu in Lightbox. I still have to go to the organizer to replace the photo.

    Just got hit by that "bug" again... was in Lightbox to replace a photo... doesn't work. This time it was a SmartGallery that is displayed on a "Page". Here is the page:
    http://phaserbeam.smugmug.com/Photostream
    Open a photo in lightbox > tools > replace > doesn't work

    The photos are taken from a smart gallery:
    http://phaserbeam.smugmug.com/Site/NewPhotostream
    Open the same photo in lightbox > tools > replace > works...

    When i compare the replace-tool URL in the browser bar when open from a "Page" it looks like this: 
    ....&AlbumID=48021315&AlbumKey=PZ9q4N&tool=replace&url=http%3A%2F%2Fphaserbeam.smugmug.com%2FPhotostream
    If i open the replace-tool from the smart-gallery/lightbox the replace-tool URL looks like this: 
    ....&AlbumID=29931722&AlbumKey=3D4JCz&tool=replace&url=http%3A%2F%2Fphaserbeam.smugmug.com%2FDigitalPlayground%2FPlayground-Misc%2Fi-pkmv4kN%2FA
    Both show the same photo but only the replace-tool from the gallery/lightbox works.

    I would think virtual photos in a smart gallery are only a link to the actual original in a gallery and you'd have to replace the original.

    I think that might be the problem... the replace tool does not "replace" the virtual URL with the correct URL to the real photo an that is why the tool does not work.
    Well... i know how to work around the bug, maybe it is easier to remove the "Replace" tool from the lightbox if the photo is a virtual copy...
