Seems as if in the new RC2, the URL Rewrite has broken the ISAPI Rewrite ini. If I check "Allow empty referer?" within the config, it produces a line like below, and ISAPI Rewrite gives an error of "Bad regular expression at lines 18 - 25."

1. i just tested this with iis 5.1 and isapi_rewrite lite. it works. no errors, and the rewrite rules and referer checks work as expected.
2. you can file bugs at http://sf.net/projects/gallery/ -> trackers -> bugs.
please describe your case in details and include version numbers for all components (iis, isapi_rewrite, ...) that are involved.
btw: where does it show that error?
update: i see the error now, it's in some isapi parse error log.
but the rules still seem to work fine.
i'll see what we can do to get rid of the error.
- the parse error is only logged when you update the rewrite rules.
- the rules seem to work anyway.
- we might change the rule to be (?!.{0}) instead of (?!) to avoid the parse error logging.
anyone experienced problems trying to manage plugins with G2.2RC2 in other language than english ?
In my case, when going to Plugins, I don't have activate/deactivate/install/uninstall links...
language is ROmanian.
thx.

There seems to be a minor bug with the EXIF.
If you try to toggle between summary and detail, the EXIF disappears.
you seem to referring to the carbon theme.
The exif overlay closes when you change the exif detail mode. just click on the exif button again and you'll see the exif data in detail mode.
it's not necessarily a bug, but i agree that it would be nicer if the overlay wouldn't close.
Here are some pretty pictures of G2. These are callgraphs for a generic rc2-svn install
with 2 small albums. The first is just the top-level main.php request:
Both of these are without G2 acceleration turned on.
I like to do these to get an idea of where an app is spending its time and it is often usefulfor the developers to verify their performance assumptions.

Thanks. We're using callgrind / kcachegrind from time to time already. I guess for me it was after your PHP demo at Google MV that I gave it a shot.
We'll need to do it again for G2.3 since there's still a lot of room for improvement.
BTW: I think the second graph is a nice example of where the CPU cycles go when G2 still has to generate thumbnails and resizes. It shows a Gallery after adding some pictures.
But it's not representative for a Gallery in a more or less steady state.
You may want to build all your thumbs/resizes in site admin -> maintenance -> build thumbs/resizes to reach this state.
PS: Any help on performance optimizations (or anything else) is more than welcome. So if you see something specific, please let us know.
Sorry but I have to disagree. When you click on something you expect to see it. I'd doubt this is what the developer intended and I gather from your post that this only happens for carbon.
I know its low priority, but would I have to put in a request for this?
My wife loves using gallery, moved her over from using Yahoo photos. One thing she likes to do with Yahoo photos is create a batch of photos and email them out to family and friends. Is this feature somewhere within Gallery?
Also, the cart is somewhat good feature, but how the heck am I supposed to view it after leaving it. There is no "my cart" button??? Only way I can get back into it is add another photo to it...

The new thing since that talk at Google is the addition of aggregate profiling to xdebug. In your ini file add:
xdebug.profiler_aggregate = On
and it will then maintain profiling numbers over a series of requests whereas before you could only profile a single request.
And yes, I know I didn't graph G2 in a steady state. I wanted to see what called what to get an idea of how the code was organized.
I think it would be a worthwhile addition to the developer docs to provide a couple of graphs like these to help explain the overall
system to new developers.

why should this specific rule be case-insensitive? only domain names are case-insensitive. the rest of an URL isn't.
It’s not the rule that you’re telling to be insensitive, it applies to all conditions as well.

I used the xdebug aggregate function already. It's neat to get an average but also to get an over-all impression as you pointed out.
A call-graph for documentation purposes? Sounds like a good idea. I'm adding a doc request on codex.gallery2.org such that the idea doesn't get forgotten.
Thanks.
Wife just called me asking why the Gallery is broken. Page comes up, but all pictures where X. And no links worked to albums. After a while of trying to figure out why it works for me and it doesn't for her, she emailed me a screen shot. She was going to http://www.?????.com/gallery and I was going to http://www.?????.com/Gallery. When I changed mine to lower case, low and behold it did the same, no images and album links failed.

I've updated your bug report. Your example is incorrect since it's doesn't need to be case-insensitive. But we can use it for rules that do referer checking.
We won't add the I flag to all G2 isapi rules. In general, URIs are case-sensitive. Domain names are not.
It doesn't make too much sense to make G2 URIs case-insensitive for IIS/Isapi_rewrite (just because Windows FS access is case-insensitive) while having it case-sensitive for all other setups. It would be inconsistent and when migrating your platform (e.g. to apache or to linux), you'll end up with a lot of broken links if you got used to case-insensitive URLs.
I suggest you change all your ibound links to use the same case for the gallery folder.
This is rediculous, make it an option, not a rule it out completely because a feud between operating systems. If I have to tell our customers that we host and my wife that they have to type in the URL exactly, and it's case sensitive is rediculous. And I'm sure that there are many others that agree, make it an option.

- We can't change it for G2.2, it's too late for that (risk management).
- Doing this change means adding code / special handling for isapi_rewrite. I'd consider it a feature request.
- We'll gladly fix the isapi_rewrite referer case-sensivity after G2.2 has been released.
Besides: You can easily add the I in your http.ini yourself.
It just doesn't make much sense to make our code more complex / invest development resources to have a special case for isapi_rewrite which is probably desired by a tiny fraction of isapi_rewrite users.
There's a democratic element in the gallery community to see if there's a larger interest in a feature.
Please use http://gallery.menalto.com/sfvote (file a feature request, get other users to vote for the same feature request).
guys, any solution for the romanian language problems ? or any hints to follow ?

I've just realised that with the Vista Shadow Carbon image frame turned on for the carbon theme, it doesn't show because it's the same colour as the background. To make it visible you need the change the album background to be the darker of the two shades (background2) in the first line in album.tpl:
[EDIT] My mistake - the shadow looks so small when the thumb is larger than about 160 that it hardly shows. The effect you get when you change the background to the darker shade is actually quite good!
# Misleading "feature" 298353: Add Network Place Wizard Saves the Location http://<server> as \\<server> in a Network Shortcut
* Workaround: use a port number after the domain, or use a trailing /. or a /# on any URL to use WebDAV properly in the setup wizard.
o e.g.: http://www.atarex.com:80
o e.g.: http://www.atarex.com/.
o e.g.: https://www.atarex.com/#
* Explanation: the :port number on the domain name, the trailing slash dot "/.", or slash pound "/#" at the end of the URL prevents the bug which interprets the resource as a M$ network drive/SMB server.
* Observation: It's funny how proprietary networking would win out over Internet standards and it's funny that M$ hasn't fixed this in WinXP: Home. Could this situation be marketing driven? That rationale could be to not fix the bug and accomplish the following: 1) force upgrades to WinXP Pro over Home edition, 2) keep proprietary standards for M$ customer infrastructure lock-in.

It's as bloated as you want it to be. Don't install any modules / features you don't want.
And we've made a big improvement concerning the file structure in G2.3. All the locale/ folders are gone (counting all plugins, more than 3000 directories are gone).
And the packages will be available without any language packages. Over all plugins, that's 2000 files less on your server if you want to run it in English only.
Can't wait for G2.3. Any idea of when we can expect to see it released? Next month? October?

Yukti - see http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Upgrading.
It's quite simple and straightforward to just replace the old files with the new ones.
Make sure you back up your files and database first though. There's lots of documentation on this.

With the ISAPI Rewrite mod.
It is creating case sensitive matches, it needs to add an “I” flag to the end of each RewriteRule.
Example:
Before:
RewriteCond URL /Gallery/v/([^?]+)(?:\?.*)?
RewriteRule ([^?]*)(?:\?(.*))? /Gallery/main.php?g2_path=$1&$3 [N,L]
After:
RewriteCond URL /Gallery/v/([^?]+)(?:\?.*)?
RewriteRule ([^?]*)(?:\?(.*))? /Gallery/main.php?g2_path=$1&$3 [I,N,L]
I will create a bug report.
