Hello all,
My goal is to clean up my photos.
Now, as I have many of them, I don´t synchronize them with my desktop pc, that means that I cannot simply delete them on a local store.
Also, using the mobile app is not really usable, because there are that many pictures to delete.
What I am missing: An option to select multiple files in the web interface. Did I misunderstand something and my goal is somehow possible?
You can select multiple files in files-view and delete them.
Yep, but in file-view the thumbnails are that small that I really cannot differentiate on many pics if keep or delete.
Is there any other way?
No, I don’t think so. An issue ticket already exists to get the desired function implemented.
You can change in the right top to bigger grid view and then mark and multi-delete.
Hello all,
thanks for your replies. I hope that it will be solved someday.
@devnull: This already helps.
The issue is just stale, and nothing is happening. It is not solved other than to point to a feature request that is closed with no schedule or milestone.
Whenever I look to replace other services with Nextcloud, which I love, I find that I cannot. The ability to select a group of photos to place in an album is just to fundamental for an app like this to be missing.
It is nearly 2024 and I have to select photos one at a time to get to the 86 photos I took on a trip and add them to an album.
I’m grateful for all the work. I don’t know how to do it myself. I can contribute funds towards a bounty for the issue if there is a platform for such a thing.
Or you could simply use product B if product A cannot do what you want it to do 
Memories does support selecting multiple pictures at once: https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/memories
Wow! That is a much better app for this. Thanks. I guess I better explore the apps more. I usually think less is more, but Memories is an excellent app.
I can multi-select with a shift-click, but there are no albums in Memories. I guess folders is the same thing - sort of. I like it, though. Thanks for suggesting.
but there are no albums in Memories.
You need to have Photos enabled for album support.
I was wrong again. I knee-jerked to disabling Photos. Thanks again. Perfect!
