will it be possible to migrate from gallery 1 directly, I use that heavily as I never had the patience to use G2.

Or do I have to do a hop to G2 first?

G1 -> G3 would be very nice, though. If somebody wants to work on an import module, let me know and I'll assist.

I have been using Gallery 1 for a long time having decided not to migrate to Gallery 2 because of its complexity. However, my Gallery 1 is now getting congested (~7000 images) and has memory problems for some operations. Gallery 3 sounds like the solution and has arrived just at the right time.... so it would be great to migrate directly from Gallery 1 to 3. For sure I don't want to try and go via Gallery 2. Since I can't, at least not yet, migrate directly from Gallery 1 to 3 is there anyway it's possible to upload images into Gallery 3 but then import their titles, descriptions and keywords from the Gallery 1 files? Uploading the images would not be a problem but having to re-enter all the associated information would be a massive undertaking.

I'll write an g1 import module, but it would be helpful to have a unix script or a pointer to code that did:

mkalbum(albumpath)
storeimage(albumpath,filename,/local/fs/myfile.jpg)
title(albumpath,filename,"My photo title")
addcomment(albumpath,filename,date,who,"this is my comment")
chviews(albumpath,filename,99)

oh heck, I can dig myself.

Rob:

That would be great. I'm sure there are many others who also want to go direct from G1 to G3, so your efforts will be very much appreciated. Please keep us posted.

Hi,

Any further updates on this? The "G1->G2 Migration sticky" scares me senseless - very complex and so many caveats/warnings at the bottom! A G1->G3 migration/import function would be very much appreciated!

Thanks,

Stefan

there is a direct migration path from G1 to G3 (without using G2)
http://gallery.menalto.com/node/102190

you can migrate from G1 to G3 simply by using the G1 import module in G3
