Hello all,

I've moved to a new server, installed Gallery and uploaded a large bunch of photos, then wanted to move my old Gallery to the new one - found out it's best to move first THEN upload photos - doh! So now I've imported all the old photos using the "Local Server" method. However, all titles and summary hasn't been moved over as expected. Now I'm going through all photos to update the title/summary for each photo and it is taking an *age* to do so and is getting really annoying. Is there a faster way I can do this? I mean, to change title/summary for a photo, I have to click on "Edit Photo", wait for the page to load, type in title/summary scroll all the way down to "Save" wait for the page to load, click on the album name, wait for the page to load, and rinse and repeat. There must be a better way to do this?

Thanks very much for your time in advance!

You should have an Edit Captions itemLink in the album, that lets you change the title/summary/keywords/description data for a whole album's worth of images, 9 to a page.
