Gone in 7 seconds

Hi,

I'm going through my latest upload, weeding out the bad shots.
That's really not easy - because I want to see each picture at least at Large resolution, so I can't use bulk delete.

If I delete a single picture, it consistently takes 7 (seven!) seconds, before I get back to the gallery and that is after the confirmation page is loaded.

Wouldn't it be possible to show the confirmation in some kind of pre-loaded frame and do the deletion in the background?

(I know I could just do this offline, but my priority is to get the pictures online and usually I only later have the time to do QA).

Thanks!
Marco

Hmmm... That's interesting. Sounds like a tools feature request. We're working on tools at the moment but I don't think we've addressed this. I see why you'd want it and we appreciate the feedback.

The most awesome way to address this would be to allow us to "mark" a bunch of photos and then carry out some operation on the marked photos (move to a gallery, delete, rotate, make 2nd copy, make copy directly to another gallery). This would let you quickly breeze through the photos, then do all the real work in one batch session.

An even more interesting implementation would allow any viewer to "mark" a set of photos and then somehow communicate those marks to the site owner. I know a lot of pros have asked for some sort of feature like this.

Thanks for the replies.

Of course, if you could significantly reduce the time the delete takes, I'd be happy as well
