Photo management - best approach?

I was wondering how folks keep track of the photos they've uploaded to AMASS. Being of a certain age and slowly losing my mind, I often forget what I've uploaded and which thread I've uploaded them to. I'm reluctant to use my gallery to store very upload because I reserve that for only my best shots. Suggestions?

If you're using LR, couldn't you Tag them when you upload them? Or just copy a link w/description into a text file "Uploads".
If you click on your Avatar, it will take you to your Member page, & at the bottom there's "SEARCH: for posts with images by Snafoo".

Thanks for replying, PhotoGuy. Yes, I could manage my uploads by means external to AMASS, but that's never 100% foolproof. Ideally, it would be nice to have a feature on AMASS similar to the gallery but which shows all of a member's uploaded images. But then perhaps I'm not using the existing gallery as it was intended.

I'm not sure if this catches all photos, but if you search using your member name in the "Posts by" field, and then in the text field, [IMG], I think that catches photos that you upload to the board.

Good idea, Bcaps! That's very close to what I want, and certainly doable. FWIW, I think I've uploaded (linked, actually) fewer than 100 photos, so it's not a huge management issue by any means.

With next version of AMASS (soon) you'll have a gallery image selector inside the post editor, so you can use that to see if the image you are going to upload is not in you gallery yet.

When you click "Pick from gallery" you get the paginated gallery browser under the post text. It is the logical place to have it as it can not be a floating tool like others, it would cover too much space. In that way it can have customized pagination, folders (later) and other info there.

The gallery images are, when clicked, inserted as GALLERYIMAGE tags with a 5-character identification code (fixed for each gallery image so they can be be reused via copy/paste too).
