but have been adding my "albums" as sub-categories under it). And under that I have Albums, although the Albums thing there is just the name of a category (It was already there when I installed Acdsee, but I could actually delete it or rename it to something else. I have a tab called "Organize" next to the "Properties" tab, which seems to correlate to what you're talking about. I think either there's a difference in terminology between windows and mac, or I am doing it wrong. I wonder if it's a bug or missing feature on mac?īut just to be sure I am actually doing albums right. Whereas when I try dragging a photo in an album, the mouse pointer changes to include a little circle with a line through it, and nothing happens when I drop the file somewhere. It's also disabled when I'm viewing a folder, but in a folder I can click on a photo and drag it somewhere else, then the Custom Sort option automatically becomes enabled and checked. When I'm viewing an album, the "Custom Sort" option in the sort menu is disabled. The main problem I have left if that I can't actually find a way to re-order the photos in an album in the first place. And especially wouldn't have figured out the crazy steps to use the sequence number in the notes to be able to rename the files based on the album order!! I never would have figured out the settings to make it display the caption, or find where you have to go to edit the caption. Now that I've properly read your post, it was incredibly helpful. but it has become apparent I'm not going to get that straight forward solution. I saw it when I was originally searching for alternatives to picasa, but only skimmed it as I as hoping for something a little more straight forward. Facebook does have a rich set of album-sharing controls for public and "Friend" viewing.īy the way, I only use Facebook for photo display - nothing else.ĪdkMike, Your post in the other thread that you referenced was brilliant! As an annoyance, Facebook automatically creates a "Videos" album - which is always placed as the first album - and this contains all videos in all albums and elsewhere.There is a way that you can drag and drop the order of your other albums in Facebook. Facebook does support videos (maybe only certain formats), but regardless to their filename, they are always placed at the end of your albums. Facebook also displays captions (IPTC description fields). (That's why I use ACDSee rename with a template to prepend a sequence number to filenames so that I can preserve the order I sorted them to within ACDSee albums). (I don't use any ACDSee Facebook interface.) When uploading from a Windows 10 system, the photos can retain the alphabetical filename sequence. You can upload directly into Facbook albums. I described my workflow in another thread - post number 8 - at this link: įacebook turned out to be a surprisingly decent photo display mechanism. (As I mention below, you can prepend the photo/video filename with a sequence number with ACDSee just for the purpose of having alphabetically sorted files match your intended album display sequence.) The missing feature with Google Drive/Google Photos is the ability to convert a Google Drive folder of photos/videos into a Google Photos album.Īfter spending some time getting to know ACDSee, I've concluded that it is a suitable replacement for Picasa in my photo management (of course your needs may differ). Videos are displayed in sequence with the photos. In the folder, double click on the first photo and select show "details" - this would display the captions (IPTC Description field). On the plus side with Google Drive, if you upload a folder of photos/videos, they are displayed alphabetically by filename. I'm hoping someday they will add this back - I've complained numerous times and requested this as a feature addition. It is linked to Google Photos, but Google Photos is basically useless for me since there is no longer any decent support of albums. I use Google's Backup and Sync just as an emergency backup in case of catastrophic file loss. Coincidentally, around the time Picasa was discontinued by Google was around when Google dropped their "Don't be Evil" slogan in favor of the "Do the right thing" for shareholders slogan. Picasa was a great simple-to-use program with tremendous capabilities. It used to work fairly well with the Picasa uploader - but that no longer works. It appears to me that this is no longer possible. There are many posts all over the internet asking if it is possible to transfer a folder of photos on one's computer into a Google Photo's album.
