"collapse all fields" does not work correctly.

"Albums->Images->collapse all fields" does not collapse all fields.

I would expect to see almost the "Albums->Image order" view when ALL fields are collapsed, correct?

Use case: If you want to delete a image here and there of say 150 images, its a nighmare to navigate pages and pages to get to your images because fields are so expanded.

Viewing more that 30 images per page, does not allow you to do a bulk delete of an selected image here and there. Even if it did work then I just want to see images and no fields.

  • "Albums->Images->collapse all fields" collapses the collapsible fields in all images. Those are the ones that are expanded by the "show more fields" link in each image display.

    Whether these fields are collapsed or shown has no bearing on being able to process a 30 image page. You will need to reduce the number of images on the page to something your server/browser can accomodate.
  • Thanks, must I think you missed my points. The big problem is usability here. Here is my points again:

    1. "Albums->Images->collapse all fields" does not collapse ALL fields with the key-word here on ALL. It collapses SOME fields. Why do I want ALL fields collapsed? Well, to find a photo out of a 150(or more) to delete or edit is very hard going throught page after page and if you want to delete for example 5 random pictures it take forever to navigate to this pictures. Just try it, you'll see what I mean.

    My suggestion: Either collapse ALL fields like it is suppose to or add a trash can in the screen where you can re-order pictures so you can drag it into the trash can. This still does not resolve if you wanted to edit a picture. Just fix the collapse ALL to really collapse all please.

    2. When I what to delete for example 5 random pictures with a 100 image page view it complains.

    My suggestion: This a bug fix it please.

    Thanks,

    It is like that for years now and our guide is always if no one complains… (and one doesn't count that much :-)). Anyway, things can be change but you should open a ticket.
  • It is not a bug. Perhaps it is not the way you want it to work, but then that is just you. And anyway, collapsing the fields will in no way help you with what you want to do.

    Your problem is that YOUR browser and/or server CANNOT PROCESS the size of post request that is required to handle your 100 or more images. (Probably not many configurations would process that size of request.)

    My suggestion: use FTP to delete the images you do not want. As to editing--you have no recourse there. Zenphoto cannot provide editing services if your browser/server cannot handle the request.

    Indeed, if that is the reason for the collapsing it won't help. The fields are hidden which means they are still there and processed.
