I'm not a fan of this, and this is going in the wrong direction.
scalemates albums are not designed for "pure" reference pictures....they are not searchable and consume space.
there are other website with better capabilities for such reference pictures collections.
the reference images (all your albums) you uploaded consume 3GB of data. If everybody starts adding full reference albums they like (cars/aircraft/ships/....) there is an explosion of data we can't handle
my idea was to organize my buildings in advance, not for just pure references
I will follow your advice and look for other sites to post only the references and delete the albums here to save space! my sincere apologies, I do not wish for any confusion and harm anyone!
i thought they would help everyone, i didn't know they weren't searchable, because I always see the montage albums of the mattes too when looking for a specific theme!
and again sincerely, I'm sorry!

Rafael Lang Starbase101 Can you send me the link in the PVT please?

Starbase101 Rafael, it's a private home network, no external access, sorry.

Rafael Lang Ah yes! Im sorry Starbase, now I understand you! I was thinking that you had bought an external space on some website!

JD I think reference photos are invaluable to the hobby. Having a searchable dbase would save everyone the legwork research that Rafael is doing for us. Reference links to offsite storage would be appreciated, then maybe a new album post would only need to have a couple of teaser pics plus the link...

Rafael Lang thanks for the support JD, I am looking for a solution regarding the database to be able to redo upload the photos later!
for now I am taking advantage of the service already done selection and saving with this organization that I posted! so I'm slowly erasing the albums! as I put it on the external HD and cataloging it correctly so I can post in the same way!
I don't want to get in trouble for Tim and anyone, so let's be patient that one day everything will work out!

Rafael Lang well Tim, it's late now, almost 3am, i'm really tired, i woke up very early yesterday and spent the day at the hospital with my wife! so if you allow me tomorrow when i wake up i still download the albums and delete them from here, all right? thanks for understanding and good night everyone, see you!😉
