Title: Folder Location for Album Post by: MelW on October 23, 2017, 12:23:58 AM I know I have done this before but can't seem to do it now. I want to change the folder location where albums are stored. How do I do that??

The rest is up to you Fred Title: Re: Folder Location for Album Post by: MelW on October 23, 2017, 12:49:55 PM Hi Fred -
Thanks - but that's not what I want to do. I just want a new blank folder for the albums for a new big project I'm starting/ So I select a bunch of prints - click "Add to Album" and the Album screen opens. It even lets me type in the name of a new folder for the album. When I do that, QU actually creates the new folder, but then the "Create new Album" button disappears. I'm not sure about getting older - just slower - much, much slower.

I click on album button. The album box opens. I click Create New Album. I name it and describe it. I close up, go back to main screen and select the thumbs that go into the album, right click and ADD TO ALBUM. I click on the album button, find my new album in the list, and there's my pictures. Where are we deviating? I know I am a deviant. Fred Title: Re: Folder Location for Album Post by: MelW on October 23, 2017, 05:10:26 PM Well, I see I did my typically outstanding job of explaining myself. Yes I can create a new album by doing exactly what you describe. That isn't the issue.
What I want to do is have a new - and initially empty - folder to put those albums in. I could accomplish this by removing all of the albums currently in the folder - but I really don't want to get rid of these. QU even tells me that I can create a new folder and in fact lets me do that - but after I create the new folder, I can't create an album to put in the folder. I'm not on my QU computer right now so I can't show you screen shots of what I want to do. If I am still not making sense, I will attempt to clarify later with screen shots Thanks again Title: Re: Folder Location for Album Post by: Fred A on October 23, 2017, 07:52:55 PM Quote Well, I see I did my typically outstanding job of explaining myself.

Now I have an essentially empty Album folder to which I added two freshly made albums. 3) I did not lose the old albums as they are stored in the ALBUM1 folder for the future if needed. Title: Re: Folder Location for Album Post by: MelW on October 23, 2017, 08:04:13 PM That sounds like a winner! Will do it later
As always - thanks Fred Title: Re: Folder Location for Album Post by: Fred A on October 23, 2017, 08:07:59 PM Quote As always - thanks Fred I am a MenschFred Title: Re: Folder Location for Album Post by: MelW on October 24, 2017, 11:00:31 PM I am a Mensch Fred This works great and let's me do just what I want. Once I am done with the project, I can rename the folder to one matching the project and then start anew with an empty folder. Interesting that QU will let me navigate to any of these folders to open an album, it just wont let me create new albums in any other than a folder named Albums. And you are a mensch - and I would know - I used to be one. |
