Update image manager


Do you use page4 to present your large photo collection?
Then you will appreciate the new image management. The new administration replaces the previous administration and provides a new dialog about ways to sort your images quickly and effectively.
The dialogue always adjusts to the screen. If you use a large monitor, you got a lot more space to organize your pictures.



On the left you'll find a tree with a list of all image folder. If you start, there is only the Main folder (1) with all your unsorted images and an empty User folder (2) without own folders. You can create as many folders as you want. And you can sort your folder in three levels (sub folder). It could looks like a folder for each year and into this all month as sub folders and at last in each month folder you can create unlimited theme folder.
1) Main folder = If you upload new images, you'll find the images in your Main folder. If you open the new administration in the first time, all your images are into the Main folder.
2) User Folder = Into your user folder you can create unlimited own folder to sort your images. You can use three levels to sort your folders.
3) Add new folder = Click on the "plus"-icon to add a new folder. Select one or more images on the right and use the mouse to move the selected images into your new own folder.
4) Before each folder name is an icon (square edged with three vertical lines in the middle). If you move your mouse over this icon, the cursor changes to a "hand". Click and move the folder. A red box indicates, this place is blocked. This can be happen if you could achieve by moving more than three levels.
5) Use the pencel to rename your own folders.
6) Preview Area = In the large area to the right all your images are displayed with a preview. If you select one of your own folder, only the images into this folder are visible. As in the previous administration max. 250 pictures will be displayed simultaneously - just to optimize the speed. With the combobox (7) below the large area you can select with section you want to view.
8) Big trash = Select one or more images and move the selection with the mouse over the big trash to delete the images. The same you can do with your own folders. You can only delete emty folders and folders without sub folders
9) Options = You can use the same options as into the old administration. Try it, it's very easy.  Please only delete unused images. Our system can not know, iif you use an image into your blog modul or if you use the tiny mce editor and add images with the right mouse click. So be sure, you know which images are in use. Best way, create an own folder "blog images" and move all images from your blog into this folder. That help you to get the overview, which images are used with your blog.

Reset = A selection from one or more images will be canceled if you click on the reset button
All = Select all your images
Invert = A selection will be reversed if you click on this. For example: There are 50 images into your folder and you will delete 47 from this. Best way, selected the three images you won't move into the trash, than click on "invert". Now your 47 images selected and ready to move into the trash.
Used and Unused = With this two links you can select all used or all unused images with one click. You can use an image more than once on your website, page4 just link to the original image into the administration. If you delete an used images, page4 can not displayed the image on your website. So be sure you only delete unused images.
Upload new image = Yu can upload images over all contents, that contains pictures. And, of course, you can upload images directly from the administration.
We hope the new image management system facilitates the work and you are very pleased to receive your comments on this new feature, which is available to all users of page4.

Your page4 team
