How do I put that formula 'behind' the date?

And, when I copy and paste the date into a new field, will it then auto-update according to formula?

This ain't math Let's say you have 10 galleries & you want to schedule 1 for every other day. On the example I posted where the date is 2018-02-14 00:00:00, click the cell below the date. Then:
1 - Type = on your keyboard
2 - Click the cell above it with the date
3 - Type + and then the number of days you want to add to the date in the cell above it
4 - Hit Enter on your keyboard.

Using my example from above where you're adding 2 days to the date, before you hit enter it'll read:
=I2+2
When you hit Enter, it'll read:
2018-02-16 00:00:00

Now, right click & copy that cell with the 2018-02-16 00:00:00 date in it. Then select the next 8 cells under the date & paste. That will give you:
2018-02-14 00:00:00
2018-02-16 00:00:00
2018-02-18 00:00:00
2018-02-20 00:00:00
2018-02-22 00:00:00
2018-02-24 00:00:00
2018-02-26 00:00:00
2018-02-28 00:00:00
2018-03-02 00:00:00
2018-03-04 00:00:00

Bob's your uncle

One thing to note when using formulas in spreadsheets (the "=I2+2" thing is a formula): before you sort anything, select all the (in this case 10) cells that have a date in them, then right click & copy. Then right click & select Paste Special ---> Paste Values Only. That will change the cell from being a formula to being just the date.

If you're not going to sort anything, ignore all that

No. That's what I hoped it'd do. The only way you can import thumbs is if the Preview URL is the size of the thumb you want to use. Otherwise, what I do after I import is search the galleries & check the Thumbs No Preview box. Then I go to each gallery, save an image to use for the thumb, and import/crop it by clicking the green up arrow under where the thumb would be displayed.

Hope all that is clear enough for your math deprived brain
