Add a sort images page with small thumbnails and limited editing functions

to show more images on the edit page that has the thumbnails..
Goto: Site configuration > Node gallery > Common settings

Enter the Number of images displayed on each gallery thumbnail page:
enter the number that you would like on that page.. then you can move them as needed.

I suppose there could be a third setting in the common settings for the Image edit page.
or
maybe a way to set the weight with a number as well as drag handles would do it.

change title to better reflect issue.

Because if you change the common settings, the display of the galleries are also effected.

Edit:
I kinda like the idea of a move to "page number x" function..

or maybe

A fourth imagecache preset that has very small thumbnails just for the edit page
and make the edit page with no limit for the number of images.

I've been considering moving to a very small imagecache preset for some time now. That or potentially resizing the thumbnail present to 50px height via css.

Having them all on one page is certainly ideal.

will remove and/or update as changes are made.

Bumping this to a release blocker.

This is my first stab at solving this problem. It also combines the patch from comment #7 in #500460: Make the Upload/Manage Images template narrower

New features
1) Created a "Sort Images" tab that only allows 1) sorting, 2) deleting, 3) previewing the thumb and 4) setting cover
2) Removed pagination on "Manage Images" because saving a node while looking at a paginated manage images will break the sorting

Things I don't like about this patch:
1) There is some replicated functions now as the edit images form and sort images forms are so similar.
2) The sort images form still has all the node variables loaded, however they are hidden values now without labels.

Any thoughts? It certainly gets the job done, which is worth something. I'd definitely like people to test it out before I commit it.

For reference, the patch from #500460 did this:
1) I moved the gallery selection column to the bottom of the node editing column
2) Wrapped the imagecache thumb with a span
3) Forced the imagecache thumb to have a width of 100px

EDIT: sorry, meant to run this patch, but it crashed my install and I fell asleep at the computer... trying again.

first run through, looks good, works good. with one issue

Gallery Landing Page Setting
( )Thumbnails --works as expected
( )Cover ---does not show any image, shows link(Continue to the Next Photo)
( )Thumbnails that open a Lightbox2 Gallery --works as expected

#9 this is something different.. --different issue. ImageCache is not creating node-gallery-cover

EDIT:
I went to ImageCache list, click 'edit' next to cover- the file(node-gallery-cover) is now created upon clicking edit.
Going to do another test....
same result..
cover image is not displayed.
I went to ImageCache list, click 'edit' next to cover- the file(node-gallery-cover) is now created upon clicking edit.
visit gallery, still no cover image is generated

started new issue for this:
#619308: Gallery Landing Page set to 'cover' does not show any image, shows link(Continue to the Next Photo)

attach screen shot so people can see without patching.
