Is this feature only available in Copenhagen theme? Trying to find image gallery in Mink theme by Lotus.

Has this feature been extended to the 'Professional' level plan as recently and not only enterprise?

Asking since I just checked and we haven't updated, yet suddenly I have access to the image gallery instead of the usual image upload and don't want to lose our images if it were to revert back due to it being an error.

Tobias Grønbæk Melander, the new image gallery is available to all our customers on all plans.

That is great, thanks for the quick answer!

Does this feature only work with new image files added to articles, or does it import existing image files into the gallery?

Is anyone else getting an HTTP ERROR 401 when they try to view the image files as an end user? It seems like a permissions issue with the domain of recently uploaded files or the gallery tool inserts the wrong path for the image, not one that can be accessed by end users.

For example, after I upload an image through the new gallery modal, I can see it embedded in the article when logged in to Guide: https://subdomain.zendesk.com/guide-media/01H2AYVWV94F4ENYYJFVFPSGTS

but when I try to view the article on the article page as an end user, the image doesn't load.

The only URL that works is after hunting down and copying the old path, the one that includes: /hc/article_attachments https://full.domain/hc/article_attachments/11427803534365

(I've already opened a ticket: 11590559)

Aaron Johnson, you should be able to see all images that have been ever uploaded to guide (and that are not deleted) in the gallery

Ari, thank you for letting us know, we'll look into the ticket

Katarzyna Karpinska The image gallery counter says I have just over 6000 images but will only display the 23 I uploaded yesterday. The search will not find any images outside the ones uploaded yesterday.

Aaron Johnson, that doesn't sound right, may I ask you to raise a ticket with support. We'll need to investigate the problem

Hi

Just started working with the gallery yesterday and I'm having the same problem as Aaron. I can see the images I've uploaded in the past couple of days but nothing else (despite it saying we have a few hundred uploaded).

Could you please post the resolution on here once you have investigated. Thanks.

How can I download/export all my images?

Does the image gallery provide any indicators for which articles the images are inserted into?

Ari, I'm also having this exact issue right now.

Thank you for describing it so succinctly.

RE: >> (I've already opened a ticket: 11590559)

Please keep us informed.

Katarzyna Karpinska, please consider expediting this.

Hello,

Will you be adding management features for the images Galery?
Some of the images were added several times, even if they had the same file name. This means I have several duplicates. 
I've started to delete them, but this deletion is very painful because I have to access each image, click the delete option, and confirm first that it isn't used in an article before I can delete it. 
The second point I have is that each time you search for an image, you keep on losing your search terms and filters after clicking Insert, Replace, or Delete an image. This makes it a very painful process to manage images. On a side note, our Gallery has now over 10 000 images

Katarzyna,

Thanks for the response.  It would be much more useful if we could view which articles an image is in without having to access the replace modal. Hopefully, that's on the roadmap for an upcoming release.

Not sure if I'm just missing it, but I cannot find a "delete" option anywhere in the gallery. I have a number of images I need to delete as they are outdated. They are all contained in a single article. I can find all the images when I search for them, but when I select either all of them, or a single one, I cannot figure out how to delete. Do I need to open a ticket, or am I just missing it? I am the Admin on the account.

Thanks!

The delete option should be available when clicking on the three dots on the image in the gallery. If it's unavailable for you (and you are an admin) please raise a ticket with our support, we'll need to investigate it.

Is there any option to rename image files from the image gallery?

Hi! Quick question. I'm going through our media gallery and deleting anything that is no longer used. Currently, I have to do it one by one, and reset the filter and sort order each time. Is there a more efficient way to do this? I'd love to be able to see everything that is not used, and delete them in bulk. Thanks!

Hi Paige,
that's indeed an interesting question. As it is now, you can select multiple images after you filter via search, but if you edit your filter, the selection disappears. I wasn't able to find, and I don't think there is a workaround for this at the moment, even though I see how nice it could be.
 
Best,

Ari Steve W - is there any solution on this from zendesk ? This is really frustrating and older image/attachment upload was so easy and seamless.

@... , is there any solution on this ? As already mentioned by some other users, endusers are not able to see article images/attachments after the guide-media update.
