Hmm... adding this to this thread because it kind of fits in with the idea of HotCat.js.
What about the ability to mass-add images to a category? I'm thinking of cases where people have created a gallery with images but none are categorised; this happens a lot and it's a pain to open every image and edit to add the category. Something like Magnus's category move javascript, where you can select images in a category and move them to another, but activated for galleries.
No I totally disagree, if there are many images organized in a gallery then the gallery should already be linked to a category. I have been busy taking these duplicated images out of Categories and leaving them in the article galleries. It's would be the same as that User who created 1000's of species categories with all the photos duplicated in the category that were already in the individual galleries, Way too much duplication. Magnus and others have that great tool for showing galleries and categories on the screen and some photos are in up to 6 or 7 different categories and galleries, simplification is the best way.
