Photo Gallery Forums

Hi guys,

you are doing a great job with imagevue, there are a few features that are missing in the gallery admin,

1. Option to download selected photos
2. There is an option to move photos to another folder but there is no option to move a folder elsewhere.

Unfortunately those trivial tasks are not that easy. Download multiple photos, hmm... they should be probably zipped before the download. So some packer should be installed on the computer... We have added ImageMagick support to the 2.8 beta just to remove it after we found out it simply doesn't work for some people.

We will could add the download button so you can download the original image form the thumbnail view, but I am not sure about "select many and download at once" thing. You can just do click-click-click on the thumbnails for images you want then.

Then the move folder, sounds easy at first, but what if there is another folder with the same name in the folder you are moving to? Should we replace it? Or merge the files? Because Imagevue operates with files it is really not easy to do all that kind of stuff. So we decided to do what we can do reliably - copy and move files, but not folders.

I mean that you can select the once you want to download and download them directly to your computer, without compressing them.
Regarding moving the folder, what I mean is select folders to move. e.g. if you have a folder structure 2012/2011/2010 etc. and have a folder vacation and you want to move it from 2012 to a folder called trips. It is also with moving files that you can have files with the same name.

I'll see what we can do.

Thanks
