Files and Photos Sections #files #photos


 

Should the need arise rearranging the a "Files" section is straightforward; Folders can be created and Files moved between them. I have just done this on the group I moderate because over the years it had become rather untidy.

There appears to be no equivalent process available for Photos; OK they can be deleted, but short of downloading each and everyone and then uploading them again into a newly created Folder there is no way that I have found of reorganising them. Apart from downloading and uploading again being tedious beyond description I suspect that the attributions might well be lost in the process. There also appears to be no way of creating an Index so that users have some chance of finding what they want to see without having to go through each and every Photo in each and every Album. We seem to have 253 Albums, and an estimated 1500 - 2000 photos.

Has this caused headaches for other Owners & Moderators, or have I missed something obvious? Should we be asking for the means to edit / index Photo Archives more easily? I suppose that judicious editing of Album Titles might be a possible start...

There are plans to add several features to the photos section, shown on the Photos card at . I don't think Mark is keeping that site updated much any more though.? I believe he mentioned that he's looking for a way to keep us updated that won't use a lot of his time.

Duane; thanks for that. There is one problem that is beyond even Mark and that is the sometimes capricious way in which members title albums they are uploading, resulting in closely related albums being at opposite ends of a list of >250 albums. I am punishing myself for past misdemeanours by going through the photo archive renaming albums to get things into some sort of sensible grouping. Moving photos between albums would obviously be highly beneficial anyway, as it would allow the number of albums to be reduced.

It may not be the best solution but I am going to trial a Photo Album Index (with links) in our Group wiki. Looks promising so far...

Chris.
