Okay so I'm starting to get a little desperate here :) I have two Gallery installations, one unprotected and one with http authentication. The protected one is the much larger one that I really need a method of uploading to other than zip files. Gallery Remote won't work with it apparently because of this issue and I can't get the XP Publishing Wizard to let me log in to either.

Now, I've just upgraded to 1.4.4 on the non-protected Gallery and was elated to find the mini GR applet. One problem... it won't load! I tried it in both Firefox and IE, and yes I do have Java 1.4. It displays the progress bar and states it is downloading the app, but nothing happens. Before I go through re-installing everything again for kicks, any ideas??

stephthegeek, URL and test account? PM me if you like, and I can have a look.

Still waiting on a reply about the mini applet loading errors in the GR forum.

In the meantime, is there any other way to upload? The text on the form seems to suggest that you can point it at a directory of uploaded pics on the server, but I haven't been able to get that to work.

The issue is that I want to modify the code so I can offer zip files for download, and the easiest way to do that is to have Gallery treat them as movie files, but the code change will eliminate being able to upload zip files of images. I figure there's gotta be ONE of the other three options that can work :cry:

stephthegeek, how about Gallery Remote standalone? That should work. Also the local path option should work out just fine...

Nope, basic authentication isn't working in the GR standalone: http://gallery.menalto.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=19608

I haven't had any luck with the local path either, what syntax is it looking for?

I think I've solved the basic auth password dialog not working. Can you test GR 1.4.1-b12, which will appear overnight?

stephthegeek, it should use a local path like /home/test/images/ or something like that.
