Moving all images from one album to another

[phill104]

Once every 6 months I move older images from one folder into an archive folder*, remove the old album and create a new one. At the moment I have to move each file individually which is quite time consuming. Is there a simple way to move all files from one album to another?

*It is a windsurfing website so each season gets replaced with a new one and any more than 4 seasons ago get archived in an album rotation sort of way.

Assuming you mean 'album' and not 'folder', the simplest way is to run an SQL query.

Code Select Expand

UPDATE cpg_pictures SET aid = <newaid> WHERE aid = <oldaid>

Replace <newaid> <oldaid> and cpg_ as appropriate, backup the table before running.
