Facebook Tip: Move multiple pictures to another album at once

If you’re like me, you are probably accumulating a *lot* of pictures in Facebook.

Reorganizing pictures is a serious pain — you have to click a dropdown menu and select the album you want to move a picture to for each picture. There’s no “Select All” option.

I was able to whip up a little bit of javascript to help. Here’s how to use it:

1. Open up the ‘source’ photo album and click ‘Edit Photos’
   
2. Underneath the individual photos, you’ll see the ‘Move to:’ dropdown menu. Clicking this menu brings up a list of all your albums.
3. Imagine that they are numbered, like in the image below. The first album on the list is 1, etc etc.
   Determine the number of the album that you want to move your pictures to.

   

4. Copy the following code, but be sure to change the number ’1′ in  ’albumNum = 1;’ to the correct number.
   javascript:albumNum = 1;selects = document.getElementsByTagName(‘select’);for(i in selects){ selects[i].selectedIndex = albumNum;};return False;
5. Paste this code into the url bar while on the ‘Edit Album/Edit Photos’ page
6. After you paste, press enter and all the ‘Move to’ dropdown menus will change to the album you chose. Scroll to the bottom of the page and choose ‘Save Changes’. All set!
