Hi,
I followed the excellent advice given in this forum and have mastered uploading zip files, setting up file structures, importing all images to new categories and generating thumbnails.
How can I easily and quickly upload and add additional images in the back end to the existing categories without duplicating the existing images during the 'Import new images' stage, and creating unwanted duplicate and wrongly named new categories such as "Introduction - Plants - Plants" when the images should have gone into the existing "Introduction - Plants" category?
Thanks,
Andy

Re: Adding extra images to existing albums
Thank you Christine,
I have followed your instructions, however, during the next stage when the new images are imported into the category, it re-imports the original images as well, so I end up with a lot of duplications. What do you recommend?
Thanks,
Andy

Hi Andy,
Unfortunately, I don't know why you have duplicates. Maybe it belongs to point 1 or point 3 > correct category selected?
Kind regards

Re: Adding extra images to existing albums
Sorry for the delay in responding. Importing single images is now the last importing issue I have (hopefully).
When importing a single image, is it OK to select the containing folder the image is in or do I have to go inside the folder and find and click only the image I need to import?
I have tried clicking the containing folder, but this is when it re-imports all its files, so I get duplications.
Thanks,
Andy

Yes![..] or do I have to go inside the folder and find and click only the image I need to import?
