Topic: Copy function

[Scouter]

The album that I created has multiple sub-albums, and pics can fit into more than one album. It would be great if there were a 'copy' function so that a copy of the photo, thumbnail, description, and any other relevant information, could be made from one albut to another -- faster than uploading it again.

Good point, added to the to do list...

Better yet would be a reference to the original instance of the picture (why have the same picture saved twice?).

Sort of like having a "link" to the picutre, pulling it from its original location.  

A copy feature would be good too, since I have many albums with the same pic. I often create a "Best of the Best" album of vacation pics, so my site's users don't have to go through 500 pictures. Having more than one copy of a file on my server kills me.

LOL, you're still plugging the link idea, and I still haven't done it.

I do think it's a great idea by the way, and the more you remind me, the more likely I'll be able to do it.

In fact, having a "create link" button is probably the easiest way to implemnt it, at least initially.

I really need to sit down and design this properly some time, that's what's holding me back. Every time I think of this feature, it's size scares me away. Proper design would fix that...

Mike, how do you do it!? How do you dedicate the time! I'm very impressed!

AWESOME! I'm a devout cultist of album.pl, and have many followers as well as converts!

You rule! Thanks for the "link" feature!
