I've written a replace-module, that replaces photo- or movie-items. No need to delete and create a new one. No need to reenter description, title, iptc-data ...

Information and download here:

Cool!
Thanks for the contribution. I did not test much but on my test install I can't replace items in the root album. If the item is in a sub album it seems to work. Not sure why. I'll let you test that first and let me know before I start digging,

A bit more info:
if the item is on the 2nd page of the root album it works. The first page of the root album items don't get replaced.

The module does not allow to change the file type.
It deletes the file on the disk, and the database record remains. And we get a photo with zero file size (if we close upload form manually).
I tried png to jpg

The "Replace" menu item on the photo page was not appearing in my install, so I fixed it:
https://github.com/mr-xy/gallery3_replace_module/pull/1

The other thing I wanted to "fix" was forcing an update of the image dimensions (width, height) in the database after replacing an image, but so far I've been unsuccessful
https://github.com/mr-xy/gallery3_replace_module/issues/2
anybody have any idea on how I could achieve that?

Anyone knows if this Replace Module is actually working now?

I had similar module used in my previous G2 and it was very useful. Definitely would love to have this on my current G3 too! But since I just had a disastrous result of installing/activating a defect module, I would like to make sure that a module is working before activating it.

Thanks!

It does work, although there are some things that could use some improvement, see my comment above
