You could use keywords to add the names of galleries that images belong to (i.e. go to a gallery and add an appropriate keyword to all images in it). Then thumbnail in v7, at the same time copying keywords and annotations to the database. Then select all images that have a specific 'gallery'-keyword and create a gallery for them.
Thank you for that - I investigated a couple of weeks to find that option - I have no idea, why I overlooked it.
There are also some threads here about batch/metadata but I didn't find a hint. This will solve my problem - and save a lot of nights :-)
Thanks again, best Regards.
