Hi there, I am having a beast of a time trying to get my pictures sorted properly. I have them all set on custom sort order in config. Is there a way I can change the size of the list box in the sort my pictures screen? I am running at 1024x768 and it doesn't fit on my screen. Currently I have to scroll the browser window to go from the top of the select box down to the arrow buttons. This is a real PITA when I am trying to move a lot of pictures around. I have to continuously scroll the browser window up to see where in the order my file is, and then scroll back down to click the button a few times.
Edit: On second thought, it would be WAY cooler if I could "drag and drop" my files into position instead of having to use the buttons at all. You can put that on my wish list. :)
Thanks,
Latisha

DHTML controls have been considered, but dropped for compability reasons. Therefore, there currently is no workaround.

Ok, I understand that. But, what about the original request? How can I change the size of the list box so it fits on my screen?

The size of the box is being determined here in picmgr.php
<select id="to" name="to[]" size="<?php echo min(max(count ($rowset)+3,15), 40) ?>" multiple onChange="Picture_Select(this.selectedIndex);" class="listbox" style="width: 300px">
Set the size to whatever you prefer.

Latisha,
Is there any reason why you can't simply add a numeric prefix to all of your filenames to get them to sort the way you want?
ie... 0010_potatobuds.jpg
0020_tomatoseeds.jpg
0030_alfalfasprouts.jpg
Start with tens, so that you can insert up to 9 more files between each number in the future. Although, something like 0010a_, 0010b_, would work just as well.

As a follow on to the original question, has anyone written a mod that allows a custom sort order to be uploaded in the form of a text file (eg to take the order from a list of image filenames, one per line)?
If not, then I'll probably roll one myself. From a quick read through the code (picmgr.php & delete.php), I assume that the order in which images are displayed is controlled by the 'position' field of the '$CONFIG[TABLE_PICTURES]' table, showing lowest value first...

Sorry, have been busy lately and not much to time to play with the gallery.
Thanks Nibbler, I will try that.
Dennis, I am moving a couple hundred photo files off a paid hosting account into my Coppermine install. I don't really want to rename every file. :)

Just wanted to follow-up on this. My problem was in the number of records returned in the list box. 40 was too many to fit on my screen and caused me to scroll constantly. I shortened it to 20 size="<?php echo min(max(count ($rowset)+3,15), 20) ?> and it worked like a charm.
Thanks Nibbler.
