Is there any way to add search keywords to all pictures in a album, because i wish to add the same keywords to all the files in the album, but going through and adding to each pic is improbably when many of my albums have 1000+ pics...?
You can apply the keywords directly from the database using phpmyadmin.
UPDATE cpg_pictures SET keywords = CONCAT(`keywords`, ' yournewkeyword') WHERE aid = 123
Use the prefix you chose during installation instead of cpg_ and the album number you want to update instead of 123. Backup your pics table beforehand.
