Editing Album details?

    How do you edit the album details – e.g. name, title and preview image – after the album has been created? I see the settings when creating a new album, but don’t seem to be able to find a way to edit them again later. Have I overlooked something?

    As an aside: if it is not possible to edit album details after the event, it would be helpful to see thumbnails when choosing the preview image, as the filenames alone (IMG1234.jpg etc.) are rarely informative when choosing an image. That’s particularly important if you are not able to go back and edit it afterwards. In an album > galleries > thumbs setup, the album preview image is one of the first one sees and an incorrectly chosen thumbnail is then very apparent.

    @thasg – Under Gallery > Manage Albums select the album from the drop-down (wait a moment for it to be selected) then use the Modify button to open its (header) edit screen, other wise if you want to change the contents you can use the drag-n-drop functionality to do that then save changes.

    Thanks!

    Thank you Cais. You are absolutely right. It does work as you describe.

    However, I couldn’t find this button on my installation. It turns out the button is there, but the German translation is misleading: it says “Album erstellen” (= create album) whereas it should says “Album bearbeiten” (= edit album). The same applies to the modal heading.

    @thasg – Hmm, well it’s a good thing you sorted this out. You might also look at making a recommendation for a change to the German text here: https://translate.www.ads-software.com/projects/wp-plugins/nextgen-gallery as we rely on the community to keep those translated strings correct.

    Thanks!
