Adding image issues (list is massive)

[inteliboy]

Am having a major usability issue with Phoca gallery, and it's getting worse as the clients gallery grows and grows.

Basically, once the user has gone to:

components > phoca gallery > gallery > new >>> then next to "filename", clicked the "image" button.

A popup appears of their library, but herein lies the problem...

Firstly, their gallery has 200+ items, hence this popup has a huge amount of images, and you have to scroll down all the way to the bottom to get to "Browse Files" and upload a new image. Is there a way to bring the "Browse Files" box up to the top?

Secondly, once a new image has been added to this list (via the "Browse Files" box), it appears randomly in this list of 200+ images. Is there a way to have it appear at the beginning of the list? Or perhaps automatically just be added to the "filename" field and the user goes straight back to the Add Image section?

Hope this makes sense and thanks in advance.

Hi, this list of image filenames has the same rules as file manager...

so you can have no so long list of image if you will add the images into the folders, the ordering is the same as ordering in the file manager (I think, it is oredering by name)

You can add the upload front to top, just change this php code:
administrator\components\com_phocagallery\views\phocagalleryi\tmpl\default.php

Thank you so much for your help. Have managed to put the file upload box to the top of the window.

Though unfortunately the 200+ images, whilst in different categories, are all in the one phocagallery folder.

Is there an easy way to move these images into their respective category folders? This may make the "new image" popup easier to navigate, rather then showing the entire library.

I don't know easier way as displaying the image filenams in 'file manager' view
