reorganising

Baggy

Hi All

I have almost asked this question before on here but suspect I did not clarify what I meant.

I wondered if there is a reorganising option/tool.

As I am adding images to my pages it is becoming obvious that I need to do some reorganising of the category/subcategory structure.

I have tried a number of ways, I have corresponded with the (kind) author of smugbrowser but it would seem that reorganising is not possible.

Before I give up.......... am I missing something, is reorganising possible?

best wishes

I'm not sure what you are really asking, but you don't need Smugbrowser in order to reorganize categories/sub-categories. You can just go into the "Customize Gallery" screen for any gallery and change the category/sub-category to whatever you want and then that gallery will display in the new category/sub-category instead of the old one.

Categories and sub-categories are not containers or folders like in the Windows/Mac file sysem. Instead, they are just attributes of a gallery that you can change at any time. You don't have to "move" your images to a new location like you would in a file system. You just change what category you want them to display in.

You are correct :-)

Thank you, you have aimed me at the solution

I tried this, the key for me was making new categories and sub categories
PLUS placing a single gallery with a single image in each so that I actually had somewhere new to assign the existing galleries to.
