+SAROC Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 How do I add the same photo to logs for different trackables a number of times without the same photo repeating itself in my gallery? At the moment the system seems to require me to upload a new photo every time I want to add an image to a log for a trackable. This results in said photo then being displayed multiple times in my image gallery. What I would like to be able to do is have only one (edition) of a photo (in gallery) and be able to then link that same photo to any number of trackable logs. For example I've just completed a four day trip carrying a number of different trackables from different owners. I'd like to be able to show those different owners the wonderful sights their trackable visited (ie the same photo uploaded to each different trackables log entry for the cache it visited), but to do this I've end up with the same photo uploaded a number of times into my gallery of images. Thanks for any guidance. Quote Link to comment
+niraD Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 This feature has been suggested before, but didn't get much traction: Select Photo from Gallery 1 Quote Link to comment

+hal-an-tow Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I've not tried this,so no idea if its feasible, but maybe you could upload the photo to one log (perhaps your log for the cache if it's not a spoiler?) then once uploaded, click on the picture to view it, and copy the address to use as a link in each of your tb logs?

+SAROC Posted November 18, 2017 Author Share Posted November 18, 2017 Thanks everyone. While asking of the forum group had also sent a help message into Geocaching HQ, response - "At this time we don't offer that functionality, but I agree that it would be useful. We appreciate that you took the time to let us know your feedback, and I've passed it on to our developers and designers." Seems to me to be (in my innocent non technical view) a fairly easy sub routine script to add to the trackable page. Alongside where it has 'Upload Photo' have another button which opens up your galley page. Click on the appropriate photo to be selected which closes the galley page and creates a link to the file name of the photo. Hay presto photo added (linked to) to log entry. But not being a programmer / code writer I guess it'll be more difficult than that. Happy Geocaching everyone and stay safe on the trails. Quote Link to comment
