Adding multiple images uploaded via FTP to existing category
Posted: 28 Sep 2017, 10:21
Maybe my question is trivial, but I did not get it reading through documentation and all my attempts did not achieve the expected result.
I have a set of subfolders under PhocaGallery directory, each one contains the image files of a distinct category (I do not use subcategories).
I uploaded the images with their folder structure using FTP and then I used the multiple add (images->multiple add->select all folders->do not select any category->save and close) to have PhocaGallery create all categories and import all images. Afterwards, I manually adjusted all category's names and settings as I required.
Now, what I would like to do is to add multiple images to one of these existing categories by first uploading the files to the right folder via FTP. After FTP upload, I can add these images one at a time (images->new->select category->select appropriate folder->add appropriate new file->save and close), but how can I add all - and only! - the new images at once to the category (i.e. import them in the DB)?
I tried with: images->multiple add->select the folders which contains new files->do not select any category->save and close, but I got a new category with all images of that folder; with: images->multiple add->select the folders which contains new files->select target category->save and close, but I got a new subcategory with all images of that folder; with: images->multiple add->select target category->multiple upload->Add files, it asks me to upload the files but they are already there.
Could someone indicate me step-by-step the right way to achieve what I need?
