I have been using Gallery 1.6 for some time now, because of the mirroring function. My site is hosted on a DSL connection and I use the mirroring to serve the images from a much faster host. Does/Will Gallery 3 have support for mirroring?

Thanks,
Kevin Schofield

Such a shame. Mirroring is the best thing about version 1.... :-(

But not so widely used that someone wrote anything like that for G2 :) Though I think with G2's architecture it might have been a bit (a lot) harder and more than anyone wanted to bite off.

G3 should be and is much easier to write modules for (not that I could write one). Take a look at rWatcher for example :) Where was this guy for G2?

One thing to look at, since you've made the jump to 1.6. You should test if you can migrate to G2. I don't know if G2's G1 -> G2 migration module works with G1.6. And right now the only way to migrate to G3 is by going G1 > G2 > G3
