Multiply Add pictures + Automatically add them to category

Post by almjodla »

Hi!
I wonder if there is an easier way to use the multiple add feature. When I upload pictures they show up in the list and then i have to add them to a category.
Wouldn´t it be easier to select the category before I upload the pictures so that they are put in the right category right away?

The list in the "multiple add" menu becomes pretty long after a while...

pls help...

it's not an answer to your question but it leads to a better workflow:

you could upload your pictures into folders and subfolders instead of the phocagallery root-folder, this keeps the "list" organized.
also if you add an entire folder, it automatically creates the galleries and subgalleries according to the folder-structure. (see the documentation for more information on that)

and: if you upload new pictures to a folder (where you created a category from), then tick the folder again, then only the new uploaded pictures will be added.
