gallery app and assets

Probably missing something here... but do images uploaded via the gallery app show under 'assets'? Thanks

I think the Gallery app predates Assets, so no.

Oh, shame... so if user wants to use an image in gallery and also in some other part of site, they'll have to upload it twice, right?

At the moment, yes, although I see fewer and fewer reasons to use the Gallery app these days.

Ah hah... so there's a better way for end users to manage multiple albums, pray tell? ! :)

Are you using Perch or Perch Runway?

Perch... not ready for take-off just yet

Ok, then best still with the Gallery app.

At the moment the client can't add buckets in assets. I have a client that uses lots of images and keeping them filterable and findable is a challenge. A lot end up either in default or in a very broad category that I've defined. For instance, adding blocks to the blog has meant that a bucket 'blog-images' quickly gets filled. If they could add a bucket for the current month that would help.

I've used the gallery as a way that clients can upload images and then call them to different purposes but keep them organised how they want.
