Stack photos into the shoot, and make big VODs actually play

Library stacks finally accept “add this picture later,” bulk merge works, and large video Play no longer dies mid-stream.

Upload day already stacked files that shared a title. What was missing: putting a still into last weekend’s shoot after the fact, or combining two solo clips without renaming everything by hand.

Stack together (bulk) and Move to stack (per card) do that. Same owner, shared stack title — photos, clips, whatever. The file stays on disk; share links, embeds, and Walks URLs keep working because they key off tokens and IDs, not the label on the card.

While we were in there: bulk select on multi-file stacks actually works (checkboxes + server expand), and large VOD Play was getting rate-limited by its own Range seeks. Continuations no longer burn the stream budget, chunks are bigger, MIME is normalized for awkward types like .m4v, and thumbs seek past the usual black intro on long files.

Rename still only changes labels. If you publish to Walks or attach a post, the public URL doesn’t remint when you fix a caption.
