One feature request I'm interested in is titled "Ability to copy a templated folder hierarchy to another folder." This would save much time for those building a new SmugMug site, and greatly simplify the ongoing management of the site. I've seen comments on this idea elsewhere on DGrin going back to 2014. What is the status of its implementation? Thanks.

    I created a new top folder for family and drug all my family "top level" folders into it.
    Everything in all those moved folders moved with each folder.

    I then could put one password on that new top folder and everything below it inherited that PW.

    The feature request is for the ability to create a single template for a folder hierarchy that can be copied to another folder (copied, not just moved) and then customized (updating sub-folder names and such). At least that's what I thought it meant and that's what I would like to see.

    While we'd love to work on templates and making it easier to copy pages and styles, as a small company, there's only so much we can work on. We're hard at work on some really great things but we won't be able to tackle this one right now. We'll be sure to update the Feedback Forums when we have more updates!

    Thanks for this great idea!
