Image order in album

Backlight 4, 5 & 6 Support
#1

When manually changing the order of photos in an album, in Publisher, is there a way to move more than one image at a time?

I searched forum and docs and couldn’t find anything…

Thanks

At present, only one image at a time.

Thanks for quick response.

Assuming the above is still true - only one image at a time can be moved - is there some way to be able to view more thumbnails on the screen at one time? I have a large monitor but only a small center section that I can’t enlarge holds the thumbnails. It makes reordering incredibly time consuming.

Name order in a Mac Finder directory isn’t the same as Backlight’s ordering which is why I’m having to move many images around. Backlight does xx-1 xx-10 xx-11 and xx-2 comes after xx-19 etc. I wouldn’t mind as much if re-ordering images were easier :slight_smile:

It’s something I would like to improve, but I haven’t quite figured out the right way to approach it. The current means of selecting multiple images for bulk actions is at odds with selecting them for reordering.

I spent some time on this yesterday, made some UI/UX tradeoffs, and multi-drag will be available in the next update. I think it’s confusing for items to have two distinct selection states, but that’s just what it has to be.
