Collecting Pix from other Galleries

Souwalker

I may have stumbled on a bug in the new smugmug.

I created a Portfolio gallery where I collect pictures from different Gallery.

I select Collect and i go to a new section where I select the gallery I want that picture to go to. Sometime I see the galleries but more often I get a blank page.

I need to opt out of that feature and start again and the galleries appears. More then often the page is blank.

I go to the legacy site and do the same but all is good so I completed what I had to collect using the legacy site function.

Is that a known bug or am I missing something?

This is definitely a bug for me also. Collecting photos is a PIA. You have to do it from your visitor view page and not your Organizer if you want it to work. And even then, it is still one at a time - painfully slow. I absolutely hate it! I use galleries with collected photos to feed my wordpress blog posts and it has made writing a simple blog article 10 times more tedious than it used to be. One of the heros told me to use the Smart Gallery feature instead, but that can also be slow as you wait for your keyworded photos to show up in your smart gallery. They need to give us a bulk collection tool in our Organizer.

Bulk collecting is indeed in the list of requests.

Please follow that for your updates. I think it should solve the issue.

What browser and OS are you on btw?

I'm using OS 10.8.4 and Safari. For me I can usually collect one photo from within the Organizer, but then when I use the right arrow to advance to the next photo I want to collect, I end up with a either a blank screen that says I need to choose a gallery, but no galleries are listed, or today I find that the tool just plain doesn't respond at all for the 2nd photo I try to collect.

I'm also having problems today moving photos from one gallery to another. Worked fine in the past. But now dragging a photo to another gallery does not "light" up the gallery I'm moving to.
