Copies of photos, leading viewer suddenly to wrong gallery

[andrys]

Most know about the bug in image copies that are used in
other galleries. Image copies used in more than one gallery are
a great idea otherwise.

But people looking at a photo put into a gallery for one category can
press 'next' to find themselves in a wholly different and unwanted gallery
and never finish the gallery they chose, usually not able to find their way
back.

Could PBase think about adding a suffix (or something) to
image-id #'s or characters, such as

Image ID# 87654321a
- or
Image ID# 87654321-2

to indicate a COPY, or the 2nd instance, of that image that is
in another gallery, so that people can remain in the gallery
intended?

This would be for any *new* copies we make, with no need
to do this retroactively. We could just fix that ourselves by making
new copies. I make new uploads now, which is a waste of storage
space (but does make our account closer to needing new payment,
which PBase wanted to help us avoid).

On a side note, this can also be a very effective way of taking your viewers into another gallery of choice if you include the copied image as the end one.

Another side note:
It occurred to me that the target gallery for your copied photo becomes the new primary gallery . In fact you move your photo and leave a copy behind...

I've had the opposite experience though.

At any rate people get confused because they choose one gallery
and then they find themselves in another one that doesn't seem at all
related to the one they WERE interested in and then it's hard for them
to find their way back.

People have written to me about it happening on mine
and I've experienced it on other people's galleries and hate it when
I do since I was interested in the gallery I chose and can't easily
get back to that gallery.
