We finally took the plunge and upgraded our aging Gallery 2.x site we started back in 2006 to Gallery 3.0.9. After 6 days of importing 60K images, it finished up. Whew. I am trying to add back in some of the Gallery 2 functionality and features, but before I can get to that, I have a big problem of the intermediate image really blows itself out of the default “Gallery Wind” GUI. The images “hang over” into the sidebar and other issues like that. Rather than fight it to make it look like it did in Gallery 2, I was hoping to reset all my album GUI properties to be the Gallery 3 defaults. I cannot find a way to do this so far. Can someone suggest how to do this or maybe provide the default “Theme options” numbers for the following? Thank you. |

Thumbnail size (in pixels): 200
Resized image size (in pixels): 640
The default wind theme is a fixed width theme. Perhaps you could try a different theme like the wide_wind or others that would allow for larger resizes that will not overlap the sidebar.

Thank you for the advice. I decided to give it a try and set the thumbnail size back to 200 (we had 150) and the resized image size to 640 (we had 1024). Once I hit save I had the dreaded "59,xxx photos are out of date" message pop up. One of the things that took so long with our G2 to G3 upgrade was how long it took to import the images. I went ahead and let the Rebuild Images command run hoping it would be quicker on G3, but it still only processes about 1 image every 25 - 30 seconds.
We are running in on our standard VMWare virtual server setup (2 dual core processors with 2GB RAM) so I have been very surprised at how slow it is to rebuild images. Any suggestions on a way to speed up the Rebuild Images process?
If there is not a way to speed things up, I may punt and give that wide_wind theme a shot.

A client is needed to send requests to and update the process on the server. It has to work across various types of server environments and in most cases long process would just be shut down. So doing small updates back and forth with the client and server seem to be the best method to work across various environments.
Just keep the window minimized and let it run. If it stalls restart from the dashboard. It will restart where it left off.
We aimed for reliability over speed.

It sounds like we will give the wide wind theme a try first and see if that helps out. Maybe in conjunction with that "image fit" module to help us avoid having to resize all of the images again.
