Photo albums

I need to move photos from one album to another. How does one do this? Thank you. Paul.

To move a photo, first click on it in the album to "open" it, then click on the "Move" button below. The resulting dialog box will display a pull-down list of destination folders.

You can also rename a photo album. Open the album and click the "Edit Album" button. Change the entry in the Title box and click Update.

There is currently no way to bulk-move several photos at once.?

Hope this helps,
Bruce?

Is it possible to rename the "Emailed Photos" album - for example "2018 Emailed Photos" - or to move the emailed photos to another album?

Thanks,
Charles

The Emailed Photos folder is a repository for photo attachments to the messages in the group message archive. It's a special case...if you were to move them, they would no longer link up with the corresponding messages.

Given that the Export Group function does not work for attachments, your only option is to download them one-by-one to your computer and then bulk-upload them as duplicates to a folder of your own creation. Instructions for the upload can be found in the GMF wiki.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

In short, no, and sort of, in that order. Where a group has attachments enabled the attached material is automatically stored in the Emailed Photos album which is the default uneditable name.

Moving emailed photos to another album is not possible directly in the same way as uploaded photos can be moved from one album to another; there are two possible solutions: firstly a Moderator can download the (emailed) photo, and then upload it again to an album of choice in the normal way. However, this method (which is a bit tedious) assigns the ownership of the photo to that moderator unless the moderator takes the trouble to reassign ownership to whoever emailed it in the first place. Secondly the originator can be asked to upload it to whatever album is appropriate, subject to the correct accessibility permission being set up to start with.

A variation of the second method is for the originator to upload it to a new album, after which a moderator can move it to whichever album is deemed most suitable, after which the "new album" can be deleted. Moving a photo from one album to another does not reassign ownership of the photo.
