Gallery URL : m-v-p.net/gallery
Gallery version: 1.5.7
Apache version: ??
PHP version :PHP v5.2.4
Graphics Toolkit: NetPBM
Operating system: Windows 2000 Pro
Web browser/version (if applicable): Firefox 3

Hello.

I would like to use the "big applet" to upload pictures. Some of them are too large and need to be resized.
The applet "complains" that it can not do so, because ImageMagick is not installed.
However, the documentation states clearly that ImageMagick is not required if I'm using NetPBM. So why does the applet keeps asking for ImageMagick ?
Also, the documentation states that both NetPBM and ImageMagick are "required". Sorry, but I don't understand.
I had already a look at the ImageMagick installing procedure. I am only a user of Gallery, not a programming wizard !
Is there any simple solution to achieve this installation for normal users ?

Greetings

The confusion comes from the fact that Gallery requirements are from the server-side, while Gallery Remote's (the applet) requirements are on the client machine.
