    Ok, so after fighting with it quite a bit, I was able to upload some more images.  Sometimes the Post Image button worked, sometimes it didn't, with no reasons that I could see.  Very strange.

    I'll see if I can upload tomorrow, and let you know.

  • it's a downgrade no seach and the thing i want without wasteing time will not happen

    I am glad the links to the products I have used are now appearing under my images.

    Though it's not a fix, you can just use Google.

    Put " site:https://www.daz3d.com/gallery/ " and whatever keyword.

    For example with "ninja" (then go to image search)

    I've uploaded a few images to my gallery. The first image I uploaded was added to the Root Gallery. I don't usually use the Root Gallery. It took a minute or two to figure out how to create a new album and then rename it. It didn't take the first time I renamed it, keeping the New Album name. It took the second time. Not sure what I did differently.

    Is there a way to remove an image from the Root Gallery (or any folder) and not completely unpublish it? Because at the moment, it looks like the only way to remove from a folder is to unpublish. I wasn't sure if that would only unpublish from that folder or from the whole gallery. If you unpublish, does the image still stay unhidden in the gallery or do you have to upload it again?

    I wish it was easier to get to my hidden folders. When I first went to the gallery, I didn't see any of the folder I created under the old gallery that were hidden. I finally found them, but it was completely by accident. They don't show up when you select My Albums. I can get to hidden galleries by clicking on Edit. I didn't realize that the Edit meant to edit the folders.

    Any idea if we will be able to create hidden galleries in the future?

    I'm also not able to edit the thumbnail. The option is there but it does nothing.

    Overall, I'm happy with it. Maybe. It will take a little getting used to.

    You should be able to change your gallery image via 'Edit' mode and you can see then you have a drop down menu to move images around to different galleries, something that wasn't available before.

    Only as partial workaround, of course. Will always be inferior indexing and less flexible than native in-site search.

    Overall, I am pleased that a gallery is back. It is actually one of the things that inspires and drives me personally to produce work. I appreciate the work that has gone into it but I do hope that some changes will be considered. Perhaps some form of Beta testing with community folks might be helpful going forward as it can get harder to bolt changes onto things when released.

    Now we have had a few days playing with it, I have a few more things I wanted to add. I don't dislike the way of putting the pictures in (when it works!) but the interface is quite clunky. It would be better for there to be a list of genres to be there rather than guessing what they might be. When adding content, the names of thew whole items cannot always be seen (an issue when so many have similar names!) The chance to delete these and make changes to anything selected would be good. Also, it might be my screen, but the whole edit area shifts across when adding items, so you cannot see the description box or anything on the left of it. I do like the items used appearing. Thumbnails - nuff said! I do like the idea of adding multiple pictures in one page - it should allow the work in progress to be seen developing or allow for people to get feedback on which of several styles are preferred. 

    On that note, though, it is very difficult to keep track of any conversations or messages. Short of searching every picture you have left a message on or checking your own work regularly, it is currently not possible. Please can we have the option to have notifications for messages to us or on our work? Note I say option because I know there are some incredibly busy people who may not want to engage due to the sheer number of messages - but some people do. The feedback from people has been so useful to help develop my work and the kind words have helped motivate me through some interesting times!

    In the gallery, like many people, I want to have the option to see the newest work as default. I tend to look at the the popular/trending things maybe once a week. As said before, the pictures at  the top of all gallery screens are way too big - I would rather see more of them but smaller. I can always click on them if I want. Also like others, I personally prefer pictures opening in a new tab. I also quite like the idea of having the chance to choose to follow certain artists. Again, it's quite clunky as is, as you have to find the artisit by chance. 

    Ok, that's more than enough from me... for now wink.

    Does anybody know how to remove images from an album, or move images from one album to another? I can see the "edit" mode, but it doesn't appear to do anything...like it won't let me just drag and move images around like I could with the old gallery.

    Also, does anybody know how to use the crop feature to change a thumbnail? 

  • Carola OCarola O Posts: 3,823

    I had to remove the image I wanted to change album for, also noticed that while I did remove it from there (root) and it isn't in the actual album, the album thumbnail still shows it :/ 

    I wish it was a way to move images between albums and also to change the album cover image

    My thoughts on the new gallery:

    Top images in my gallery:  Popular images at the top of my gallery page are way too big.  They push all the other artwork offscreen.

    I agree, the new gallery has some browsing annoyances.  In addition:

    - I don't want to see the top row popular thumbs on page 2 or thereafter.  The old gallery didn't shove them in my face on every page.
    - I don't like you have to scroll down to the bottom of the page, to go to page 2.  I liked the right side arrow click of the old gallery to advance the page.
    - I don't like that right-click on gallery thumb link was removed.  Sometimes I want to right-click on a thumb to go to its link.

    When I look at my gallery, page 1 of my Root Gallery is always empty. Page 2 and on have images. Why is page 1 empty?

    I was excited to see that Daz finally has a new gallery.  While it seems there are a number of improvements, I am dismayed that after spending a half hour to set up my first render in the new gallery, when I hit "Publish", it doesn't seem to have uploaded.    So that's rich...It doesn't seem to work.  However, I did have me wondering if there is a delay before it posts?  I don't know.  I was wondering if others experienced this.

    Did you get an error? Had you posted to the old gallery? If this is your first time posting I think you get held in a queue, as with the forums.

    No, no error message.  I have a posting in the old gallery and that shows up, but the new one I made in the new one hasn't showed up.   I thought abut that it might not been an immediate posting as well, and waited a few days.  But it still isn't there.   I will try again, but if it doesn't post again, then there is something wrong with it.

    Edit:  I tried it again and this time it posted.   However, in order to test it, I didn't have as long a description.   Is there set character limit on the description?  I didn't get a warning or error stating so, but as far as I know, that was the only thing I did different between this posting and the first time I tried.

    Thanks,

    Geo

    That's the same problem I had, and ended up having to delete my image and re-upload it. The problem is, that while it is no longer in the wrong folder on the album cover one caouls (and still can) see that image even when it was deleted. Hopefully that will be fixed soon, since I doubt one can remove the Root Gallery without inviting a Lot of trouble

    I can't crop / change my image thumbnail. Is anybody else having the same problem?

    EDIT: I see now everyone is having the same issue.

    Maybe they have eliminated the search because they have lost the images prior to the reform.

  • Merging with main gallery thread (and as far as I know all old images are still there, as a cursory glance should confirm - if you have lost images then it might be necessary to open a support ticket).

    If all the images are still there, how do I find the next image?

    Same. The image stays in the root gallery. I couldn't figure out how to get rid of it. I ended up deleting the root gallery. I never use the root so it's always an empty folder for me anyway. Not sure if that will mess things up or not. Shrug. I guess I'll find out if I get an error the next time I upload and image and the root gallery isn't there.

    Exactly. Can you explain to me how to search for that image? Before there was a search field, now there is not.

    Sorry, I thought from your post that you were trying to get to that specific image.

    I agree that without search facilities the gallery is very much lacking - I hope they may re-instate the search options before too long.

    Thank you for your response. I just wanted to know how you found it.

    It is a pity that after such a long time without a gallery, they present an incomplete version.

    @DAZ_ann0314 publishing to the Gallery seems to be working for me now (and I can see the products used where I couldn't before, even the ones I already own)

    A thought and a suggestion though. I love how the products used shows up with the "page" listing especially since you can see the price, BUT is there a way you can swap it with the comment section? I specifically look at renders and often click to see the products used if something peaks my interest and it can be a bit cumbersome to have to keep scrolling through comments just to get to that section (especially if there are a lot of comments).

    Also, will we eventually be able to delete a wrong product if we acidentally add one? For me half the description is usually missing when it pops up, and when you use products that have several things associated with it, it is easy to add the wrong thing and not know it till it is already added. Might be a browser issue (I use Google) but when i go to add products the box is under the other products but as soon as I click on it and start typing, it throws it next to the product before it so the despriptions get cut off.

    The switch between comments and products has been suggested. IDK what they will decide on that though so it may stay how it is. 

    The other issue (with tags, categories, and products and not being able to remove one if you make a mistake without removing all the ones after it), has been reported.  smileyheart
