Hi,

Since edition of multiple photos parameters is not possible at once in the current gallery 1.3.x, it is quite painful to rotate images and so on when you import a large album...

To solve this, I added a "mass edition" feature to gallery that displays all pictures from an album and offers for each of them to rotate it, to change caption or to hide it (other settings might be doable if needed), and then performs all requested changes at once, which greatly speeds up rotating lots of images for instance.

If you are interested, the patch for 1.3.4-pl1 is available at http://tom.weedns.com/gallery/gallery-1.3.4-pl1.massedit.patch
Comments appreciated

Gaël.

Looks interesting, gael, 2 points:
1) It should be "Mass editing" or "mass edit" not "mass edition"
2) Can you upload a copy to http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=7130&atid=307130 so we can look to integrating it into a later version of gallery.

Thanks for the hard work.

I am running a stock installation of v1.3.4 and found the application of the patch to be smooth and without problems. The mass edit feature is awesome! I hope it gets considered for G2.

may I suggest a little enhancement for this patch?
It would be nice to have the possibility to make a "mass order". A checkbox by every thumbnail which says "order pix" and at the bottom a combobox where you can choose the lab.
what do you people think?

you don't absolutely need root access. you could download, compile and run the binary as a normal user. but the easyest way would be to download the official patch package for your distro (but then you need root access)

Hi guys,

I have updated the patch to add :
- possibility to mass delete pictures as well.
- configurable max amount of photos to edit at once, to avoid breaking the browser with very large albums : if the album exceeds the maximum (say 100 photos), massedit will first prompt you which 100 photos you want to edit then proceed as before.

I will post the updated version on sourceforge as well.

Gaël.

Sorry, but I don't really see what you mean ;)... Could you elaborate on how it would work ?

I mean, for now, you have for every pix the option: "no change", "clockwise", "ccw", "flip", "caption" and "hidden". Why not add the option "order pix from lab". So when you want to order many pix, you don't have to do it one by one, but all at once.

I think what dzubi means is to make it possible to select a large number of the pictures to upload and purchase from an online processing laboratory like Shutterfly.

I to was confused by his first post and thought he was asking for a way to reorder the pictures within the album.

You need to pass -p1 instead of -p0 to patch.

You need to apply the patch to a clean source archive of gallery 1.4-pl2. You can't apply the patch more than once on the same source tree. And the patch might not work well on later versions.
