when try to apply watermarks to the gallery using the SELECT ALL/BULK ACTIONS, it grinds with the little twirling windows, but never applies. i end up having to close the page. It hangs. Is this my host or internet or is this a glitch with watermarking?

anyone? I can't apply watermarks at all.

Dear Kelli,

Thanks for your question.

I am gladly informing you that it is possible.

After adding the watermark, please go the Gallery > check the box > choose Set Watermark from the Bulk Actions.

Please check the screenshot, I am showing how you can do these steps.

Thanks and have a wonderful day!

Please read my original post. I did not ask HOW to set the watermark. I know how. I said:
"when try to apply watermarks to the gallery using the SELECT ALL/BULK ACTIONS, it grinds with the little twirling windows, but never applies. i end up having to close the page. It hangs."
The watermarks, therefore, never get applied. I CANNOT APPLY THE WATERMARKS BECAUSE THAT FEATURE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY.

It's been 7 days. If this problem isn't solved, i can't launch my site. I have to have watermarks on my pictures. please, can anyone help? where did everyone go?

Dear Kelli,

I am gladly letting you know that our development team informed me that this feature will be added into Photo Gallery during a month.

So please wait a little bit, until this feature is globally available in the plugin.

Thanks and have a good day!

Okay this is confusing. you say this is a feature that will be added, but i have the feature already. it just isn't working. why include a feature that does not work? Very confused here. And not sure what you mean by "During a month" do you mean within a month?

Dear Kelli,

Hello,

The update that we promised, it is for moving the images to another directory.

still confused. i have no idea what you're talking about. i don't want to move pictures to another directory. i want to watermark them. (????) as i said, the feature IS ALREADY THERE, it just doesn't work properly.

Dear Kelli,

You have been emailed. Please check your inbox, we are waiting for your reply.

Okay, the watermark seems to be working now. (THANK YOU!) but now, i wonder what happens when someone buys the picture--does the watermark disappear with the purchased photo? how do i find out>?

Initially, i tested the watermark feature again on a gallery of 7 photos and a gallery of 17 photos. then i started at the top of my gallery list and tried to apply them to a gallery of 100 photos. the set watermark action has now been running for 45 minutes....should it take that long to watermark 100 images?
UPDATE: i finally stopped the process and checked the main page for this gallery and the watermarks were on all the photos...but the grinding/ processing symbol had never stopped, so i never know when it finished. This creates several issues. First, i won't know when to stop the process because i won't know when it is finished. Second, if i do manage to get all the watermarks on all gallery photos, i still don't know if those watermarks disappear when the photo is purchased. This leads me to think i ought to just OMIT using watermarks altogether. this creates a THIRD issue: there doesn't seem to be a way to UNwatermark the photos. does this mean i must upload a fresh copy of all my photos to eliminate the watermark? Because if that's the case, this mean i must upload hundreds of pictures again and then go through the tedious process of tagging them all individually, because you still haven't integrated the Bridge tags feature that imports the tags already on the photos.
UPDATE: i searched forums for "remove watermark" and found that the RESET under bulk actions is supposedly how to do that. But now my question is- what gets reset? just the watermark? or also the tags? which again, i would have to spend hours retagging individually, which would make that reset NOT WORTH MY TIME.

UPDATE: i tested the RESET option and it seemed to leave the tags, but when i checked the gallery on the main page, that photo had DISAPPEARED. which seems to indicate that a reset will REMOVE photos from the gallery, and force me to reupload and retag. so this is not a good option to use. I fear i will have to AVOID USING the watermark feature altogether.

Dear Kelli,

Reset option works when you have set a watermark or rotate the image. Afer this action the images come back their initial position/situation.

If you reset lots of images, then it is possible that the execution time of your server does not enough do to this process and for that reason, the Gallery is divided to separate galleries. In this case, you need to increase the execution time of your server.

you did not address the bulk of my questions.

Dear Kelli ,

As we told you, the reset and set option in the Bulk Actions work correctly. But the option does not work on your website because you have lots of images and the execution time does not enough to set them during this time.

So we are kindly asking you to set them part by part or increase the execution time from the server.

Thanks and have a nice day!

I checked with my host and they assure me this is not the problem. I guess i will just recreate those albums and avoid using watermarks altogether. I'm disappointed all these issues could not be addressed properly. Good day.
