NextGen Gallery – Order – Client Numbered Photos

    We are trying to solve the following ordering/naming convention issue: new images need to be added to the front of the gallery but somehow title the pictures with a sequential numbering system (rather than manually renaming all of them).

    Presently, the gallery is ordered by ID/ascending (highest ID/latest photos come to front) but has been manually named numerically with 1-100 on the first page, and 2-200 on the second page, and so on.

    (The naming convention was used so that the shop keeper could find the image of reference when referenced in an order, i.e. she knows to go to page 2 for image 252, and 5 for 543, etc.)

    If you add a new photo to the front the numbers are no longer correct. For example if the next number is 201 and its added to the very front, then you have 201/1-99 on the first page, and 100-199 on the second page and so on; after a bunch of images are added, the pagination is quite wonked up, making it hard for the shopkeeper to reference where the image is.

    Is there a way to dynamically name the images per gallery, so that each time a new image is added, it becomes 1, and the previous 1 becomes 2, and so on?

    If not, is there a way for the WordPress Admin/Shopkeeper to search the gallery (i.e. by title)?

    On the latest version of WP, NextGen Gallery, etc.

    @tim – There is no current method for bulk re-naming of the images files/titles but you should be able to search them easily enough under Gallery > Manage Galleries via the Search functionality there.

    Thanks!
