Hello,

I really don't know if this is the best place to post this doubt.

I have categories on my gallery2 but there is some albuns that I want on 2 or 3 categories.
For example, I have categorie/albuns "Friends" and "Travels" and I want to put the album "Trip to Amsterdam with friends" in both categores.
What should I do?
There is a way, "Creat Link" on the images, but that takes to long time, because I need to create 2 albuns, same title, same order, same highlight, same options... a lot of work if we want to do that to 50 albuns.
So my question is, is there a way to clone an album and put on other categorie? Something like the option "move" but more like "move and copy".

Thanks.

with the current nightly snapshot of g2, you can create links of albums.

Sorry but I don't understand. "With the current nightly snapshot of g2"?
What do you mean? That is a new version of G2?

I have an option to create link of photos, but not of albuns.
You mean a future version?
Thanks

Valiant, thanks for the help.
As I could see, that's more than an album link. How do I install it? It's just an upgrade to my gallery?
I'm afraid of installing it because I don't want to change anything on the structure and files, and I want to mantain the same theme and design.
It's possible?
I've searched for information about that Jesse Mullan update but I don't find anything related and I don't know here is the readme or faq to help me installing it.
Thanks
