File references in Wild Apricot show the full path to the file in the websites file structure. Revealing such internal structure is a security risk. For example, it makes it easier for outsiders to scan the file/directory structure looking for files with inappropriate/inadequate security settings.
Our former platform, Groupspaces, used UIDs to refer to files (e.g. in links). This has the added advantage of allowing files to be relocated in the file hierarchy (or even renamed) without breaking existing references (see https://forums.wildapricot.com/forums/308932-wishlist/suggestions/8822545-automatically-update-existing-links-when-page-is-r)

From the photo album gadget, I have to select photos to upload one at a time. As a workaround, I create the album, then go to "SiteAlbums" in the Files section, find the newest folder (because the folder names are not intelligible) and then upload my collection of photos to the folder.

Be able to rotate/edit photos within slideshow and photo album widgets without an html or css code.

Social forums are great. Users can subscribe and get an update anytime something changes in their topic(s) of interest.

We need the same concept for uploaded Photos. Each Member can subscribe to get updates any time a new photo is updated in a specific album/page.

By having this, Members would be automatically sent updates that they can visit the website. Sometimes, a little prodding is good to help with adoption AND this is when something NEW has been added. Going to a site and viewing all of the albums looking for new photos can be a waste of time.

Allow for alt-text on image files to be edited within the file application.

I have no trouble with adding a picture or background colour, but is there a way that we can add a picture, but fade it so that it is just lightly in the background?

Will you be providing the ability to add the photo album captions to the photo gallery gadget photos if they are derived from photo albums? (I tried to find this idea but the search led to many ideas about either photos or photo albums but not specifically to the photo gallery gadget photos).

Ability to edit/delete subfolders under Site Albums. Some folders are empty and some folders need to get renamed. Full admin should have the ability to delete the empty folders and rename the rest for better organization and use of file storage provided (2GB)

Please fix the file upload database to sort folder above individual files and enable deleting items and creating new folders/sorting and organizing (as this used to be a capability and it is no longer.)

1. Fix bug that rotates some photos when uploading them or, at very least, add ability to rotate photos so we don't need to convert photos to PNG files and upload again.


2. Add ability to rearrange photos within an album...drag and drop


3. If slide show gadget is connected to photo album, photos should appear in same order as photo album

Move UPLOAD button to top of Photo Album.

Right now, it is moved to the bottom as new photos are added. This means you have to scroll to the bottom to upload additional photos. Would be great to leave the UPLOAD button in #1 position after new photos are uploaded.

When people add an image to their profile it is automatically re-sized and difficult to see. People want to actually see who they are communicating with in a membership program. The photo album keeps images at the original size so the images in the profiles should be able to stay full size or at least easier to see. Images are very important when creating a connections in membership programs.

The image quality of any images uploaded to your system is completely compressed. For example I would like Student Members to upload their Student ID cards as proof of being a student, but I cannot read their cards because the WA system completely degrades the image. I can also not download this file in it's original size and format. Can you please do something about this?

restricted access ONLY accessible by certain people, not the Full admins

I would like to have a video album, so I can store videos and use a gadget to display them (similar to photos). I recognize that the Wildapricot photo album is very small, probably due to expense. Is that why we don't yet have a video album?

Photo albums. Next and prev. scrolling through large images. Is there a way to have the album scroll through the large images without displaying the whole page? Currently, if there is any text at the top, in a context gadget above the album next and prev scrolling causes the window to jump so that the text needs to be displayed again. This causes the next and prev scrolling to jump and requires scrolling down (again and again).

Ability to add text to images in album AND ability to add a "red dot" or SOLD onto images in an album.

I love the new Photo Gallery gadget, but it is missing some crucial functionality. I need to be able to annotate the photos - otherwise it is just a bunch of pictures. I'd like a title on the main page and then be able to add details on the full screen photo.
Then this would be really useful, whereas now I doubt I will use it at all.

When I try to upload a group of files, some of which are already present on WA, I am prompted whether to overwrite the exiting files. This is very good. However, if I click "Not to all", then none of the files I selected are uploaded. I expected WA to simply skip the duplicates and upload the rest.
