moving albums to subalbums, loosing description - pled - 2007-01-23
Hello,
I've upgraded to 1.0.6 version to take benefit of subalbums. When I move an existing album to a subalbum (moving folder to subfolder), images description is lost in the new subalbum.
Looking at the zenphoto database, I can see 2 identical albums, but with different [album-id].. so I guess I should (using sql) delete the newly created album, then change the "old one" with the new value set for [albumid]. Then images description should be back.
Am I right with this ? or is there an easier way to move an existing album to a subalbum ? Additionally, as I am not a sql expert, what would be the command(s) ? ;-)
Thanks a lot for that wonderful software

There are a lot of problems with that, and there's no easy way to do it.
A new image record gets made as well. There's not a good way to keep track of the images on disk while they move around, so it needs to be done in that admin, but it's not ready yet. I'm working on it!
For now, you can try to work the database around, but you'll have to delete the new image id's, move the old ones and change the album ID to make everything match, and even then, no guarantees... Sorry...

OK, so I will wait for the version with subalbums management through the admin panel. It looks safer.. at least for me ! ;-)
I guess it will be version 1.1, right ?
Thanks for your quick answer.

Move/copy/rename is not available until build [2127] and will be incorporated in tonight's nighlty build. Anything you do to move an album or image until then will not preserve your database items.

OK ... so how does one move an existing album to a subalbum without losing data? I can't figure it out.

On the admin edit page of each album (Move/copy)

Right. I did not see that there. Thanks!
