Hello/Hi/Greetings,

I have found that some photos are in the wrong album and I'd like to move them to another. I haven't yet found a way to do this using the admin tools and wonder if it is possible?

Could it be done in a file manager by moving the files around in the ./galleries folder and rsyncing? I'm loath to try this out in case I mess up the site totally.

Piwigo version: 2.9.1
PHP version:
MySQL version:

Not quite. I find that the photo(s) are copied to the destination album rather than moved. A typical result is shown in the screenshot attached where the photo is listed as belonging to both albums.

i think you mixing virtaul album, physical albums etc in your mind
Read the doc, Take A Tour, etc

If you are using physical albums (like me) check out my plugin:

[extension by windracer] Physical Photo Move

Thanks for the link. Where does it appear in the admin menus? I don't see under admin/plugins.

windracer · 2017-09-18 02:45:55

It appears under Batch Manager actions ("Move to physical album") and on individual photo properties (Move tab).

Thanks now I see. This just the job.

I tried to use this plugin today. tried moving one photo, it appeared in the new directory. then I found still in the old directory. so I resynced, then deleted the one in the old dir....now the photo is gone in both....

This sounds like maybe you "moved" (linked) it to a virtual album? Did you use the "Move" tab on the photo details or the "Move to physical album" action in Batch Manager? Those are the items added by my plug-in.

beepro · 2023-03-24 19:56:31

The photos were in physical albums (/piwigo/galleries/name). It was not easy to find where i can move photos but easily done it with moving an entire album.

I was on the photo details and used "move" there. but briefly I saw it in the new album AND then OLD one. I deleted the photo in the old one and it also is gone in the new one.

windracer · 2023-03-24 20:06:40

I'm not sure what would cause that. Did you see any messages from the plug-in during the move? If you leave "simulation mode" on what messages do you see?

beepro · 2023-03-24 20:25:20

the simulation and the real thing both said the photo move was a success.

but I know I did not use the batch processor.

maybe I should take a tour of the plugin because I do not understand the difference between global and single mode and also what does the "basket" do.

thanks for writing the plugin!

The basket/caddie is not part of my plugin, that's a piece of core Piwigo functionality. My plugin just links into the Batch Manager and Photo Details adding the option to move a physical photo from one physical album to another. I have a detailed explanation of the plugin here:

https://github.com/jradwan/Piwigo-physi … ove#readme

If you do continue to have repeatable problems, please log an issue in Github (https://github.com/jradwan/Piwigo-physi … ove/issues) and I'll do what I can to look into it. I have not had any reports of photo loss using my plugin so I apologize that you lost some images. :(

beepro · 2023-03-24 22:55:16

no worries. I lost one photo and I put it back today. just lost its counter number :)

I will read your writing and see if I can move one better next time.
