Is it possible to see the Data View with a picture library

Question

I want to edit a Picture Library in SP 2010 it has a ton of meta data. Is it possible to edit it in a Data Sheet View or in excel or some other Data Sheet?

Answer 1

I think there is no ootb solution, but at link below is a workaround with help of SP designer: http://sharepointdiva.com/2014/09/05/datasheet-view-for-picture-library/

edit: So here is text from page you cannot open.

From address:

htps://SHAREPOINT/sites/SiteCollection/Images/Forms/BatchEdit.aspx?ShowInGrid=True&View=%7BDCBF7E0E%2D60C2%2D4555%2D91C2%2DB086EE2F9FA1%7D&InitialTabId= Ribbon%2EList&VisibilityContext=WSSTabPersistence

changes will be made to this link so bolded part of link will be changed.

First create a view in your picture library that doesn’t have any thumbnails, but does have the columns you want to edit. Put the URL for that view in the part before the “?”

Find the guid for your view by opening the view in SharePoint Designer, clicking on the WebPartPages web part, and finding the ViewGuid (image bellow).

Your guid will look something like this: {DCBF7E0E-60C2-4555-91C2-B086EE2F9FA1}

Replace: { with %7B – with %2D and } with %7D

The guid should now look like this: %7BDCBF7E0E%2D60C2%2D4555%2D91C2%2DB086EE2F9FA1%7D and will replace this part of the URL:

htps://SHAREPOINT/sites/SiteCollection/Images/Forms/BatchEdit.aspx?ShowInGrid=True&View= %7BDCBF7E0E%2D60C2%2D4555%2D91C2%2DB086EE2F9FA1%7D &InitialTabId=Ribbon%2EList&VisibilityContext=WSSTabPersistence.

You’ll now be able to use this URL to access the picture library in datasheet view (image bellow).
