Identification of Destination of collected images

MarionT

I'm new. I do understand that I can set up a private storage location of images, a tree of folders and galleries - and then COLLECT images into one or more gallery.

What I am not seeing is: from my source image, how can I tell which galleries, if any, that image has been collected to?

I'd be happy even to know the # of galleries it's been collected to.... and see a 0 if it hasn't gone anywhere.

For example, organizing decades of family photos. I want to look at a given image and know if it's been represented anywhere in the galleries I'm sharing with my family.

Is this possible?

HI Marion,

When you are in your Organizer, you can tell that a photo has been "Collected" from another gallery because you will see the small curved arrow on the thumbnail image, it will look like this... https://monosnap.com/file/ChZYag7aH7VUpWMrdddGMXjRcidmt1

When you are in the Lightbox view, you can see the gallery that the image was collected from by hovering your mouse under the photo, it will then appear like this... https://monosnap.com/file/KhJpBTek3VkJVjSTzVTgNMMAxbp14j

But when you are in the original gallery you will not be able to see if the photo was collected into another gallery. That's a good suggestion though!

Thank you Vivian
ORGANIZER: Yes, I know about the curved arrows, telling me that the image originated somewhere else

LIGHTBOX: I didn't know about this feature; thank you

but, alas and alack, neither of those features address my request. I will post it as a feature request
