I have two different users with privileges that allow them to edit an album. One was batch rezizing images. The other was editing captions. When all was said and done the caption editing did not stick. Is this not allowed? I would have thought that gallery would be able to handle more than one user making changes at a time. We happened to be in the same room so I can guess what happened, but what if you have two users who coicidently are making changes to the same album at the same time. They wouldn't have any idea why their actions failed. Gallery should really be able to handle this, or barring that, when the second editor logs in and tries to make changes, gallery should say "I'm sorry, there is someone else editing this album already. Please try again later."

thanks,

cedar

This is a known issue in Gallery 1.x. We're not going to resolve it in 1.x, though .. there are many issues that need to be resolved in order for this to work well. Instead, we're rewriting Gallery from the ground up as G2 which has full concurrency support.
