Managing Images

Good Gallery provides a comprehensive set of tools for organizing and managing your image library across folders.

Your Folders

Folders group and organize images. When you add a Folder, that action does not automatically create a Gallery Page on your website. However, when you add a Gallery Page to your website, a Folder is automatically created for that Gallery Page.

If a folder of images has been created and you would like to display the images from that folder, create a new Gallery Page and then select the appropriate folder in the Image Folder drop-down list.

Modifications to an image are applied to every copy of that image in every Folder. When modifying or deleting images, pay careful attention to all warning messages.

All Images

The All Images folder displays all images across all Folders. Images that are not organized in Folders are also managed in the All Images folder.

To select groups of images, click on the first image, press and hold the SHIFT key, and then click on the last image in the group.

To select multiple non-grouped images, click on the first image, press and hold the CTRL key, and then click on other images.

To view the All Images folder:

1. Sign in to your Good Gallery administrator account.
2. Hover your cursor over the Images menu.
3. Under the Your Folders menu heading, choose All Images.

Add Images

Copy images from the All Images folder to the selected folder. Highlighted images are already present in the currently selected folder.

To select and manage groups of images, click on the first image, press and hold the SHIFT key, click on the last image in the group, and then click on the appropriate action button.

To select and manage multiple non-grouped images, click on the first image, press and hold the CTRL key, click on other images, and then click on the appropriate action button.

Sort Images

Images are sorted automatically, selectively, or manually. Image sort order is unique to each folder. For example, the images sort order in the All Images folder is not applied to other Folders.

Changing the sort order in Folders changes the image display order in Gallery Pages.

Sort Automatically

When images are added to empty Folders, images are automatically sorted by filename in ascending order. Subsequent additions to Folders are also sorted by filename in ascending order. However, those subsequent additions appear above previously added images.

Sort Selectively

Sort images selectively by Content, Date Modified, Date Taken, Date Uploaded, File Size, Image Size, Original Filename, or Title in ascending or descending order using the Sort Images feature.

The sorting method selected is applied once. The selection does not define a new automatic sorting method.

1. Sign in to your Good Gallery administrator account.
2. Hover your cursor over the Images menu.
3. Under the Your Folder menu heading, choose the preferred folder.
4. Click the Sort Images button.

2. Hover your cursor over the Images menu.
3. Under the Your Folder menu heading, choose the preferred folder.
4. Select one or more images.
5. Hover your cursor over one of the selected images.
6. Click on the image and drag the images to a new position.
7. Release your mouse button.

Thumbnail Size

Indicate the preferred size for image thumbnails in Folders. Thumbnail size preferences are applied to all Folders and the setting is saved until changed.

Thumbnails are small images that represent large images. They are typically displayed in groups allowing visitors to view multiple images simultaneously.

Reducing the thumbnail size is most helpful when manually sorting large image collections.

1. Sign in to your Good Gallery administrator account.
2. Hover your cursor over the Images menu.
3. Under the Your Folders menu heading, choose the appropriate folder.
4. Move the slider to the left to reduce the size of folder thumbnails.
5. Move the slider to the right to increase the size of folder thumbnails.
