Deleting Comments

k2butter · October 25, 2007

Is there a way to delete a bunch of comments [in galleries] at once? Going through all of them one at a time is a bit cumbersome.

Go into your control panel, click on stats, click on comments, you can delete them from there.

Only the gallery owner can delete comments, sorry

this would be very handy, can it be done?

For whatever reason all my pics got uploaded with the camera type as the comments and the file name (selected to show) does not show until the comment is deleted..for a large gallery deleting one at a time is way too time consuming! Can I stop this when uploading? using picasa at home for gathering images for upload to SM..

thanks!

Hi, don't confuse comments with captions

Your camera maker puts their name in the wrong place, and we end up reading it as a caption (sorry about that, we wish they'd do it right!). But you can easily fix it - go to photo tools, edit captions bulk and add "empty" to all captions. Save and done

Thanks! Stupid camera's

Now not sure if this is ok to ask off topic or try a new search...the edit bulk page has a nice list of all images with thumbs and file name, is it possible in some other format like this to see the image name you kids put out instead of the filename in the url? That was I can grab multiple image names and cut and paste the rest of the url for when I do multiple image embeds in forum posts without having to jump back and forth from the share window?

The easiest way is to change to "All Thumbs" mode and view the source of the html page.

cool, that will work for all the images, my ideal would be to have a thumbnail view with the links to each file. so I can grab the ones I want to post and fit them into the text I write.

Thanks for the suggestion!
