Hi everyone,

I used Gallery since serveral years now, it is really the best soft I've ever seen ! The author is very kind and always help if he can ... :wink:

Now, I've more than 7,000 pictures on severals albums !!! ( http://www.PointCA.com ) and I would like to know if there is any project for archiving this big album on severals CDs ? ... not only for archiving, it should used for another kind of album we could sent to friends, family, etc. on CDs (or DVD) and read this with any CD/DVD reader ? It is just an idea and will be usefull to link this with gallery...

Hi folks, I tried the wget method metioned in the document and only the first page of the album works fine, the second page and on I get a lot of link refer back to the website instead of files locally, I checked and the files are not even downloaded by wget. Any idea why? Thanks.

There was a recent note added to the "Offline Copy" doc page. Re-read it, and take notice of the last user note.

Newbie Question:

I'm trying to get my album (Gallery1) to copy to Cd/DVD. I've read the Offline Copy docs and I'm stuck...

How do I use the WGET command? Where do I type put it?

Thanks for your patience. (And stop laughing at my lame question!)
