Question about batch organizing and editing filenames.

I've noticed that when I want to organize (re-order) my photos, it wants to update after each photo is moved. I'm wondering if there is a way for it to wait until I have finished ordering all of the photos until it updates. Having to update every time I drag/drop a single photo into position adds quite a bit of time to the process.

Also, is there a way to batch edit the files? Think Facebook or flickr...after you upload the photos, it lists all of the photos and you can rename/tag all of the photos at once. Is this possible with G3?

Cheers!

There is a module for batch tagging the entire contents of an album:
http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery3:Modules:batchtag

I'm not aware of any way to batch re-name everything though.

Yes, I have installed the batch tag module.

It's really the other things that I'm really wanting to do: batch edit/rename.

Right now I'm having to click though photos 1-by-1 to just change the titles/names. What a pain in the #*$!

The rearrange/organize/bulk edit portion of G3 is under heavy/active development. Stay tuned and keep up to date with the latest git version.

awesome. definitely looking forward to that one...

until then, i guess it's: edit, change, next, edit, change, next, edit, change, next, edit, change, next, edit, change, next, edit, change, next, edit, change, next...

You could write the module as well, if you wanted, for the behavior you wanted. Perhaps your way will be better than the one in development? I am sure you will like to new one.
