PhotoPost Community - View Single Post - "-1" = unlimited (admin), mass-delete (user), member category options (user)

Just purchased and installed this today, and I have a few suggestions:

(ADMIN) In the usergroup permissions, it would actually be nice to specify a limit of 0 for the sub-category limit and/or the total disk space limit. For starters, have 0 as the default means that "unlimited" overrides any secondary usergroup settings. I had to set all of my usergroups to limits of 1 & 1 for all usergroups before trying to set a limit for the secondary usergroups (otherwise the "unlimited" default took precidence). I suggest using a setting of "-1" to specify an "unlimited" condition, and let "0" actually mean "zero".
(USER) A "mass delete" option would be nice for the end user. I see they can empty a sub-category which deletes all images in that category, but if they only wanted to delete 10 images they have to edit and delete each individual image.
(USER) I have a member category setup, and I noticed the user doesn't have access to the standard category options for their main member category. It doesn't show up in the category admin menu (only sub-forums show up) so they can't empty, delete it, or make it private. Sub-category settings work fine, but their main category appears to be quite limited. I suggest allowing the user to modify this category via the category admin menu so they can delete it, empty it, or make it private if they wish.

That's what I've found so far. If I made an error in any of the items above please let me know. As I said I just installed this so I may be misunderstanding the interface or made an error during the install.
