We want people to be able to take full advantage of their screen size when editing. You could always make your browser window more narrow or adjust the width of your gallery tree area until the columns of thumbnails matches what you want in your gallery.

You can adjust the width of your gallery tree by clicking the line between the left tree section and the right contents/settings section and dragging right or left depending on what you want to do. If you have a lot of nested galleries, you might find this very useful.

I see your point Emily - but your suggestion doesn't help if editing on a smaller monitor. In this case the left tree pane restricts the number of columns displayed on the right - preventing me from seeing the same number of columns as published in my gallery.... this limits its usefulness as I can't use it to lay out my pages.

I know the width of the left tree pane can be reduced - but (currently) it can't be hidden completely.

Here are my suggestions:
1) Provide a toggle switch to hide/display the navigation tree (this is probably the easiest thing for you to implement)
2) Include a toggle switch to put users into "Gallery column preview" mode. This would display the exact number of columns as per the gallery settings and display a horizontal scroll bar on the right-hand pane when the results don't fit the browser window.

Otherwise I agree that this is a great feature that brings some of the friendliness of flickr to pbase.

I'm running IE8 but the sytem says in red at the top of the page that it does not support my browser!

Continued from above the full message is...

"The drag and drop capabilities of this page are not supported on the browser you are using. Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera, and Internet Explorer (versions 8 and greater) are all supported."

although I am running IE8

Awesome.....as it SHOULD be!! Well done!

The drag and drop works fine within a gallery page but I can't drag and drop across page breaks. Is this intended? Thanks

Andrew

Holy smokes this is awesome! I have played around with the new page and have no suggestions, complaints or otherwise.

I have been a "paying" member since 2003, and have almost left a number of times but I'm still here. If this is the beginning of a new and improved Pbase, I'm glad I stuck around!

Thanks Emily, Slug et al

Very slick and it's heartening to see PBase modernizing.

Like very much, easier to work with

oh, by the way : could something be done to distinguish the picture that are publicaly viewable from those who are not in the editing page ?
maybe a spot like a signal, or the whole picture in light red...
it would be easier to manage than always clicking on edit images to check if they are hidden or not

Awesome, well planned, easy to use....love the "drag/drop" options.....
Thanks!

I have not managed to read through the entire thread so this might have been mentioned somewhere else already but it appears that the "Delete Image" button on the "Edit Image" page is not working.

While I am still testing, so far, other than the above mentioned issue, I am enjoying it. Thanks!

Hi,

The Edit feature is very nice. Makes re-arranging a breeze! Thanks.

Hi,

this is really a great new face to Pbase, thanks for the work!

One aspect could be maybe also tackled with: Could we have a more contemporary set of camera/lens/(film|software) type of entry, accounting to the fact that majority of cameras are digital now, and maybe the raw converter could be entered or selected from the list? Thus the camera DB should know of the attribute film/digital and offer the film entry only if the camera is a film camera, or also, user might shoot images from film frames, in which case it would be nice to change the camera type, and the the shoot time stamp, and declare the film type.

Hi,

• I just noticed that the new Image-Edit does not have the "Upload an image to replace the current image for this image_id." option!
  Could you please preserve this important feature?
  
• Also, in the new gallery edit the "Sequence" or "Commands" column is way too wide at the cost of the "Title" column, what forces user to scroll horizontally longer title.
  
• The Image size could be given in KB? I think that the exact size in bytes is not important
