Okay,
I've been using gallery for a little while now and recently after getting a digital camera I felt the need to use g2 (moving pictures around w/ g1 took forever and it would re-size all the time).

Anyway... on the album page when you go into settings at the bottom there is a check-box that says "Keep original image?"
I left this unchecked to see what it would do, but it wound up keeping what seemed to be the original size. Is this what it does if you leave "no limits" checked?

Also, just for fun I set three different sizes for the pictures to be resized to. 640x480, 800x600, and 1024x768 just for fun because I could. Anyway, it seemed like it uploaded the pictures real quick but when I went to go to look at the pictures at different resolutions it took a very long time.

I went looking around for where the resized pictures were. I know it saved a copy of blabla.sized.jpg with g1 but I couldn't find them with g2. Where are these stored or are they created dynamically?

Thanks,

~Eric

- the "keep original image" has a significance when you edit the original photo in G2. when you leave it unchecked and you crop / rotate, ... the original image, then you can you lose the oiriginal image in its original form.

- it creates the thumbnails, not all derivatives (resized versions) during upload time.
if you want to create all derivates, you can go to site admin -> maintenance and click on the appropriate link (rebuild...).

- g2 stores the all derivatives (thumbs and resized versions) in g2data/cache/derivative/
they're not named like blabla.sized.jpg. the files have names like 17.dat etc. the file names come from the the database.

Hello,
I found this not to be the case. I ran the optimize database, delete template cache, and delete database cache. Still when I go to view a picture that I haven't already cicked on before it takes a very long time and the CPU is at 100% running a process called 'convert'.
The comments under each button did not seem to suggest that they generated derivatives of picture for which none were generated yet. Are you sure thats where I am supposed to do it?

Thanks,

~Eric

Build all thumbnails/resizes is the maintenance task.. if you don't see it, upgrade to current cvs/nightly snapshot.
