I'm sorry if I didn't use the precisely correct terminology.

When EDITING A PHOTO, I attempt to COPY it to an additional categoy.

I select the new/additional category from the listbox provided, and then submit the form. Yet nothing happens. The form is submitted and I am returned to the "showphoto.php" page and the new/additional category does NOT appear.

If I go to the other category (the one that I tried to add), the photo does not appear.

In short, adding a new/additional category in editphoto.php appears to have zero effectiveness.

The only way to accomplish my objective is to DELETE the photo (along with the associated views, comments, ratings, etc.) and re-upload it -- along with ANOTHER photo, since I can only assign multiple categories when uploading more than one file at a time.

Obviously this is not a satisfactory workaround.

I'm grateful for the suggestion, Chuck. But I'm leery about being a guinea pig for untried fixes.

I'm wondering what sort of regression testing plan (if any) is in place for new releases of PhotoPost. Is there any real systematic approach?

I can't see any reasonable explanation for deliberately omitting the multi-category option on a single-file upload. Nor does it appear that the copy function in editphoto.php was tested.

Are you confirming that you replicated the problem on your own system?

Have you tested the fix that you're proposing that I try? On your own system? What does it accomplish on your system?
