Hello. I'm using gallery on small home server with lack of processor power. I'd like to copy whole my photo collection to gallery. It is rather huge (about 40G, 10000+photos), so thumbs generation with php (imagick) on Atom processor won't ever end Can I resize all the photos on my desktop (it'd be much quicker) and just put them in var/thumbs and var/resizes? Other question is about albums themselves. Is it possible to place all folders in var/albums and gallery just creates albums from directoy names? Thanks for great soft! I've been using Gallery2 for long time and now I'm pleased with high quality new one P.S. I'm not afraid of php/mysql/console etc. So if it is easier to create a script that would recursively scan directories and INSERT rows into mysql.. it's not a problem. I just don't want to build a bycicle if it already exits. |

Why? I don't understand what you want to do here. Are you running out of disk space?
No.
Doe snot exist yet.
Perhaps a real inexpensive host to host your 10k photos would be better than a small home server?
Use the server add method to add items it might be better in your circumstance?

Thanks for fast reply.
Creating thumbs for 10k photos on Intel Atom is much much more slower then on Core Quad. You have to agree
The other problem is that I'm using NAS for photo storage and Gallery itself hosts on separate machine. So you can add network overheads.
Thanks for serveradd module, I will have a look. I think I can patch it to find and use preprocessed thumbs.
