Archive Exhibition

[will]

Question, I have 3 exhibitions that I continually add images to. I'd like to find a quick easy way to select older images and have them appear in an archive exhibition. Ideally I like to have one archive exhibition that would be fed by all three of my other exhibitions.

Does anyone have an idea how I might accomplish this?
Ideally I think an option on the photo edit page that added a "Move to Archive" option to the "Hide" and "Display" drop down.

I wonder what would the "archive" technically be? As photos which are hidden and photos which are displayed are all there in same database it is technically same thing if I'd code a new exhibition type "Archive exhibition" or that you just create an exhibition called "archive" and give it a password. Then use copy/delete utility to move photos there (remember to chmod 777 thumb and microthumb folders).

A "real" archive which would benefit maintaining online galleries should be a separate database holding unused photos, but a separate database is out of reach for most virtual server users and that would need a lot of extra code for transfering and re-crossindexing data.

You are right that an "Archive Exhibiton" would just be another exhibition. I guess I trying to force the software to fit my mindset.

A little background. I'm the photographer and web jockey for a three man woodturning artist cooperative. I found EE through my experince with a G2. What I like about EE is that I think I can train my two partners to maintain their own pages once I upload the images. One function we have done in the past is to move non-current work to a page called "Archives". This keeps our individual pages fresh with current work. What I think I'm asking is there an easy way for non computer literate users to move images, text and setting from one exhibition to another. I will investigate the copy/delete utility. Thanks so much.

I looked at the copy/delete utility and it looks perfect for what I have in mind! You have thought of almost everything and the time and care you have put into this is evident.
