If an image happens to be in more than one gallery (has more than one gallery taxonomy assigned) then the breadcrumb above the image can sometimes end up not returning to the gallery the user was previously viewing.

This has multiple implications for our site as I've themed the image template to include next/prev thumbnails, and depending on which taxonomy the image is deemed to be within the next/prev images can change erratically.

I would propose using a session variable to remember which gallery the user is currently viewing, and using that for the breadcrumb.

Of course, if the user navigates to an image that is not in the last gallery viewed, the system will have to pick a new taxonomy to show (in the same way as it does today).

Does anyone have thoughts on if this is a good/bad idea? Session variable as I discuss is easy enough (actually, this is how OG works for content in multiple groups) so will have a go at a patch.

If you can achieve this, that would be wonderful. It seems to me how it should work - Drupal supports multiple terms, Image doesn't. I've spent days trying to do this with 4.7 and it is (so far) beyond me.

I now have this done and working for 4.7 if that's any help or inspiration to anyone - see http://drupal.org/node/119052#comment-256393
