Bulk set SmugIslands settings on many galleries?

jfriend

Is there any way to turn the two new SmugIslands gallery settings on for a whole bunch of galleries?

With 161 galleries that I want these set on (no Google or Smugmug indexing wanted on these galleries), I dread having to do them one at a time.

John,
Will bulk gallery settings work for you?

No, I don't think that will work. The 161 galleries don't all have identical settings for all the other things. I just want to apply smugisland settings and leave all the other settings the way they are.

Thats where I thought you were going with it John. It would be nice if we were able to select one item only on the list and update all galleries. The search for the answer still moves on.........

John,

SmugIslands access for the API went live last night, so I will have a new version of SmugBrowser available shortly...which will allow you to do what you want.

Cheers,

David

I'll be waiting for the next SmugBrowser version to do this.

A cool site innovation for bulk settings would be to let me create a bulk settings template that only effects certain settings. It could be implemented in the UI a number of different ways, but one way would be to have the "save" process prompt you for which settings you want to be part of the bulk settings (e.g. a long list of checkboxes). This could be somewhat like the Synchronize process in Adobe Bridge where you choose which settings from one image are to be applied to lots of other images.
