moving multiple galleries from "other"

AngryScot

So I used smugglr to move all my galleries from picassa to smug mug, but now I am finding I need to edit each gallery to set the category is there an easier way to do this in bulk?

I usually use SmugBrowser to make changes like this - http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=47484&highlight=smugbrowser. I find it to be faster than editing each gallery within smug.

Well the browser is great for uploading that portion for me has been done I am trying to organize them now and move them to the right places, from other to family for example. the smugbrowser does not allow for this.

Yeah I'm sorry we make this way too hard.

It's on our radar to improve/fix, but I'm sorry for the hassle in the meantime.

Thanks Anne,
It is hassle that I will put through, but it would be great for future users to have a migration tool that would set up for total transfer with sorting built in. The ease of moving from current provider would be a big plus for folks with large gallery sets.
Thanks for the reply

I have 50 galleries in one category and need to move them into another. Is there a way to do this in bulk? I tried to make a quick setting, but it no worky.

Yes I did, but I didn't see a way to move existing galleries. Did I miss something? Is there an FAQ for Smugbrowser?

You "move" existing galleries by changing the category and/or subcategory.

Using SmugBrowser right click on each gallery and pick Properties. In the
popup change the cat and/or sub-cat. You have to do this for each gallery
but it's all in spot so no page switching to every gallery customize page.

At any cat or sub-cat level in the tree pick "Bulk Update" and anything
checked in the properties box will apply to all galleries below in that tree.
