Batch change of public_flag

[unclewillie]

I found that you can select multiple images and change the public_flag for all of them by doing a batch_update. Doing this makes them not publically available. I haven't been able to figure out how to do a batch change to make them public again. I tried different values (0, 1, 2) but the files stay private. Any help would be appreciated.

You offer an option to do a batch change of the public field, yet there is no indication of what valid parameters are. I was able to change an entire gallery to be not publicly viewable, but now I need to change it back. It is too slow to do one at a time. Please just let me know what the parameters for the field are.

Actually 'y' wont do the job, atleast for my images. But 'Y' does it.

So in short, the answer is to set public_flag to 'Y' (capital Y) without the quotes.

In long, this looks like a bit un-userfriendly. The logical values would be:

public_flag=y or Y ot 1 -> image is public.

public_flag=n or N or 0 -> image is not public

Hope slug can add couple more "or" in that "if" statement.
