I think it would be great if users were encouraged to submit there sites so that we can see what the new versions look like. Either that or you guys might like to provide us with a link to the new look Gallery.

I find that I hold fire before upgrading my Gallery and wait until I've seen the advantages of making the change.

Question: if I have modded my Gallery, is it easy to patch it with a new version without destroying my mods?

:winky: :wink:

If you want to see what G2 looks like, there is a demo sites thread that is sticky. I think there is a "submit your G1 to gallery" thing already in place.

The linux utilities diff and patch are your best friend for upgrading modded versions of gallery from one to another. I do it all the time :)

G2 Demo Sites:

The way to modify G2 is to create your own templates/themes and create G2 modules to extend the functionality. If this covers your case, you won't have to do anything after a G2 upgrade (from G2 beta to G2 beta 2, etc.), because these changes are preserved.

But your Gallery 1 modifications won't be easy to implement in G2, i.e. it won't be very analoguous. You'll have to analyze how things are done in G2 and then apply your changes.
