"My Images" Management

[Laura]

Please bring back the option to select and delete multiple images.

I was able to keep My Images under control when we had the action button option to select and bulk delete them, but now there are just too many to delete one by one. I imagine these are taking up unnecessary space as well.

Do you have your images in folders? As that option is there to bulk delete - select the images you want to delete (that are in a folder) - scroll down to the very bottom, and there is a trash bin button to delete selected.

@Sara_H No, that started to be too time consuming so I abandoned that method and have relied on search to find what I need. Thank you for the info 🙂  So basically I'd have to take time to move all the images to a trash folder and bulk delete from there... *sigh*  Just wanted to clean things up a bit, not worth my time if this is the only way.

"Deleting" from an album only removes them from that album anyways, they still remain in your All Images where you have to find and truly delete them from there. They need to change the wording on this to "remove from album" as it's very misleading with the current wording of"delete".  I would love it if they had two options from within an album: "remove from Album" and "delete from My Images".  As is, taking the time to sort your images into albums doesn't help when you decide you want to actually delete some as you still have to scroll/search through All Images to find & delete them.

But I still have the ability to bulk delete from My Images - All Images? I just did it to make sure. You just have to move your mouse over the image to make the check box appear, check the box, then scroll to the Delete option at bottom of page.

Also a P.S. for anyone who doesn't know: You can delete images from your My Images and it has no effect on existing designs, published or just Saved.

@Laura Looks like @ColsCreations knows - I thought that it would delete the image (and not just from the folder) Learn something new everyday!

[Laura]

@ColsCreations Thank you!! 😊 I would mark your reply as the solution but I don't see the option here.

[Sara_H]

@Laura I think you don't see the option to select as solution because your initial post was in 'Ideas and Suggestions' section and not 'Ask a question' section. So many boards with different ways of working 😹

Thank you @ColsCreations and Sara_H for those short tutorials. I'd forgotten deleting didn't remove them from my images. I wonder if that's true if I haven't put them in a folder yet. And Sara I couldn't see those transparent little tick boxes and there was a LOT of space between my images and the controls at the bottom. Glad you said they were at the bottom. I just kept scrolling down and there they were.

This doesnt appear to be true anymore, I went into a folder and delete a random image and my count on all images went down by one, so in case anyone is reading this in the future, dont just delete images. 

Here is the way it appears to work:

A image can be put into multiple folders, and everytime you place an image into a folder, it appears to create a duplicate of that image. So if you have the same image in two folders and delete one of them, your count doesnt decrease, it still sees those two versions as the same image. So you can create duplicates in different folders, and it wont affect your image count, and you can delete images that are in multiple folders without it doing the same.

BUT when an image is only in one folder, and you delete it, then it will delete it completely from images. learnt this the hard way.

Hi! Is there an existing (or consideration for) a sampling program or portfolio for Zazzle pros? Thinking about something like a swatch book with selected patterns and designs so designers have a professionally printed reference of their work.
