Moving Images Between Galleries

PerezDesignGroup

At the present moment, one must click on a drop-down box for each image. This is very time consuming for large galleries. May I recommend the following?

Display check boxes beside the images. At the bottom, put a drop-down box along with the submit button. Once submitted, all checked images go to that gallery. Additionally, it would be nice to have a "Check all" button to auto-select all images before moving.

I'm positive we can do even better than this. Don't hold your breath, but I've got some ideas...

Thanks for the reply! Anything would be helpful really. I recently thought of a better way to organize my pics and moving them has rendered my right index finger unconscious.

Seriously though, I'm sure this will help many others down the road. Thanks again.

There's a "preview" of the new tool up on the website now. Check out "Split NEW!" and imagine it's also a move tool. That portion is in testing now, but no promises as to a release date.

Any feedback about the Split tool, though, might be helpful for perfecting the unified move/split tool.

It works fine if you're splitting the gallery up.

In my case, it didn't help since I was trying to move images from an existing gallery into another existing gallery in order to consolidate a bit.

I found a quick way to do this and save a bunch of double-clicking.

Take the destination Gallery (where you're moving everything to) and assign it a really strange name, preferably something like "Q Gallery". The only reason I named mine Q was because I didn't have any other galleries starting with that letter so pressing it on the keyboard guaranteed jumping to the right one. Keep readin' to understand.

Now navigate to the gallery you wish to move (and eventually delete) and select the "Move Images Between Galleries" dropdown.

Instead of clicking the drop-down for each image, press tab and then "Q" on your keyboard. Then tab, Q. Repeat this really really fast and you'll be done in no time.
Tab, Q
Tab, Q
Tab, Q
keep on going til you reach the end and press Move. Then rename your destination gallery from Q Gallery to whatever you want.

This is exactly why I said "imagine it's a move tool" ... There's one in the works that combines split and move. We're making sure it's a good fit.

Tool's in the wild now. Like it? Solve this problem? Can it be improved?
