"Add images" feature

    At the moment you have two buttons, “Select Images” and “Refresh Images”.

    There is an issue with this that is becomming extremely frustrating though.

    If you have a gallery with 100 images, then you edit it and click “Select Images” you can lose ALL of your images from gallery if you accidently deselect them by selecting more images that may not even appear on the screen if they were not recently uploaded.

    Could you please make it so that the “Select Images” button will let you ADD images but not let you DELETE images?

    I edited line 131 of ht-gallery-manager-scripts.js to fix this issue:

    return $('#ht_gallery_values').val() + ',' + idList;

    Hi Steve,

    I understand the issue you describe. This is the standard WordPress behaviour when working with galleries. You need to hold down the CTRL (CMD) to select multiple images and/or shift if selecting a block of images when modifying a gallery. That’s not to say it’s the right way and can be problematic, as you say.

    Thanks for the heads up with that code snippet, we will have a look at perhaps re-evaluating how this works in Hero Gallery Manager.

    All the best,

    Hi Steve,

    Once again, thanks for the feedback. We’ve looked into this and decided to use a modified of your code to alter the default behaviour of the ‘select images’ functionality in the Heroic Gallery Manager.

    Deselecting images in the WordPress media manager now won’t remove any images (so it’s harder to remove images from a big gallery), only add them, as you suggest. Removing images from a Heroic Gallery is now done exclusively using the remove button (bin icon) on an image in the gallery.

    This applies in the latest version v1.17, released today. Be sure to check it out.

    Thanks for your input,

    Richard
