This post is in regards to being able to edit / modify photos in a quicker capacity. Meaning, when on an existing or copied account / record being able to click "Edit All Images" would allow the ability to edit photo captions and titles all at once. The current process only allows you to edit one photo at a time . This is very time consuming when you are talking about 100's of photos a day. Any have ideas or some coding they can share? Thanks !

Hi rentittoday,

It's a bit of a kluge, but how about backing up the uploads database (where all the data about your uploads is stored including the info fields) for safety's sake, then downloading a copy of the uploads database using something like Navicat or the CSV export and CSV import plugins.

Then edit the required info1- info4 fields in Excel and re-upload the result.

You should be able to put together some simple macros in Excel to make life easier.

Just an idea,

Jerry Kornbluth
