Hey everyone,
I was told by another poster that the only way to get a feature added is to plug for its addition. Not sure if this is the proper place but it appears to be.

86491 [G2] Copy item (or item hierarchy) feature 10 Vote

I have been a member of the Gallery community for 5 years or so and use Gallery to run the photo section of a bi-monthly newspaper. Each issue, I have to create albums for specific purposes...it would be nice if I could have "template" albums...which I could copy into the folder in question en masse instead of one at a time. It could copy all sub-items too, renaming the album file name to avoid duplication.

Please vote for this feature. Feel free to contact me if you have an idea of how I might be able to accomplish this within the current program; also if you are willing to make the feature for a bounty. Here is part of the other post, which explains how cool this could be.

One more thing...I just noticed that this post is from a year and a half ago! Perhaps someone has made some progress on this idea. It would be helpful for many reasons: You could have a template of albums for specific ideas, businesses, etc. Say you were making folders for real estate:

Template Folder
Bedroom
Living Room
Downstairs
Etc.

You could copy the

222 Main Street
Bedroom
Living Room
Downstairs
Etc.

And so on and so forth. Let me know!
