Hi all,
I have a large number of photos in an album, and as I add new photos they appear at the end of the album. When I want to place them somewhere else in the album I click and drag. This can take up to 2 or 3 minutes, or more, especially if the new location is near the top of the album.
Is there a quicker way to do this? There doesn’t seem to be an equivalent of a Cut and Paste.
Any suggestions, please?
Thanks
Robert

Hi Michel,
Thanks.
My album has over 2000 photos. Dragging from the bottom to the top takes about 2 minutes - certainly not immediate. What am I doing wrong?
My Plan B is to split the album if there is not a quicker way to move photos in such a large album.

Robert, With 2000 photos, you are right, scrolling to drag images will be slow even if you choose small thumbnails. My album are rarely over 300 items (for books or slideshows). For such a big number of photos, you must have different sorting criteria apart from the available ones by filename, date or import batch. Very often, one of those criteria will be the main one; very often, you can build your album by importing smaller batches in your required order. Suppose all files are in custom order inside each batch, you simply have to import all batch in your preferred order.

Thanks Michel,
2000 photos is definitely too many for one album. This current project is almost finished so I'll persevere with the slow movement.
But next time, I'll do things differently!
Thanks again,
Robert
