Simple but effective. > I had the same thought this morning... and funny you should mention it, but I had the exact same thought about the way NetFlix does it. I'll see what I can do about putting something together. I was thinking that it would be nice to show an icon (a-la the upload page) of the image along with the filename and then the overall list. I'll keep the first iteration simple by assuming that the user will handle any ordering collisions. >> Also, it would be great to have the ability to overwrite an image in a >> gallery.

Since I've never touched those parts (upload and datatree) of Ansel before, it might be best left to those that know it a little more about it than I do. One possible suggestion for how to do it would be to add a "Replace" option before "Delete" on the gallery view... That or an easier way would be to add it as part of the "Properties" form... just add the file-upload at the bottom of the form. h -- ansel mailing list - Join the hunt: http://horde.org/bounties/#ansel Frequently Asked Questions: http://horde.org/faq/ To unsubscribe, mail: [email protected]
