Hej

Would it be possible to add a search feature for counter values and / or ratings in the Move/Copy/Delete page.

As it is I have a lot of pictures of my daughter for my relatives to look at, and after a while I want to remove the pictures that are not to popular (most of them I guess :) )

What I will probably end up doing now, is to sort the photos in counter order, and then simply copy/paste the names to a text editor (vi) and create a find ... -exec rm {} \; command per each photo.
Then hopelly I can use the analyze and repair tool to fix the database.
Or?

Just a suggestion.

EE does not really "care" whether you delete the physical photo or not. You should sort the photos by counter value in public list page, copy the photo names you want to delete and then select those photos in copy/move/delete and give command to delete them.

I'll add a wish for more sorting values for copy/move/delete editor to my todo list.

Hej Pekka,

Thanks

I really appreciate that you put up this wish on your todo list.
If you have 1000+ pictures and want to do some house cleaning, it is a bit tedeous to manually find each photo.
