Hi all,

Development of Gallery Remote has started again, and we have lots of exciting features coming up.

You can take a look at our <A HREF="http://gallery.menalto.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpWiki&file=index&pagename=Gallery%20Remote%20Documents" TARGET="_blank">project documents</A> to see what we have planned.

This is also a user-driven project, so if you have feature requests, please post here, or send them to me (using the private message sending on this site) or to the gallery-devel mailing list.

Regarding support, you can also post here and I or other people will try to help you. You can also post to the gallery-user mailing list.

First all, let me say that Gallery Remote rocks and I use it a lot. It is particularly great because its so easy to use that I can teach my family members how to add their own photos to our site.

I find that I much prefer to upload my pictures via Gallery Remote than ftp... ftp just times out more for some reason for me, and then I've gotten errors adding the images into gallery.. GR eliminates most of those problems!

I'm on dial up, so it takes me a very long time to upload pictures, and I often just que them up in gallery when I go to sleep or go out. It would be awesome if you could make a feature that had gallery automatically turn off your computer when its done uploading :smile:

Thanks, and good work!

Thanks for the praise...

Things that will make it easier for dial-up users include:

- client-side resize (so uploaded files are smaller)
- batch upload

Your suggestion of shutting down the machine when the upload is complete is interesting. I'm not sure how high on the list I can put it. Anyone else interested in this feature?

Would it be possible to enable the uploading of the existing file names as the default captions. When uploading through the Gallery interface, the file names are used as the caption, but when you use Gallery Remote, it leaves them blank. If we could have an option to choose blank or file names or presumably at a later date to fill in the captions in Gallery Remote.
Thanks

I believe bharat already mentioned a 'quick fix' for this issue someplace around here.
I can't recall where though. Basically, you need to make a small change to the
gallery_remote.php file in your gallery folder. All you need to do is add a line
somewhere near the top of gallery_remote.php:
<TABLE BORDER=0 ALIGN=CENTER WIDTH=85%><TR><TD><font class="pn-sub">Code:</font><HR></TD></TR><TR><TD><FONT class="pn-sub"><PRE>$setCaption = 1;</TD></TR></TABLE>
This will tell it to use filename captions by default.
