Hello, I'm new to this so please go easy on me. I installed the latest version of Gallery, downloaded yesterday. Thought that everything was working fine, but for some reason 3 of the 12 pictures that I uploaded do not have thumbnails. I have tried deleting the pictures and re-uploading them. That did not work so I re-edited the pictures with a different editor to make sure that there was not a problem with the saved format, I've had that happen before. All with no avail. The last 3 pictures will not show thumbnails. If you click on then you do see the image full size, but no thumbnail. Here is a link to the problem page: http://www.sweatt.org/gallery3/index.php/The-Puppies?page=2 Here is all the technical info I could find. * Version: 3.0 RC2 (Santa Fe) # Operating system: Linux 2.6.18-8.el5 |

Found the problem. The titles of the pictures that did not have thumbnails contained a "'" in the title. Remove the ' and the thumbnail works. Not sure if this is a bug or not.

This sounds like one. Should report it and be a hero.
https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gallery
May want to look through the already reported ones first, and see if its already there though.

It also sounds like a bug that was squashed ages ago. First thing to do before reporting any bug is to upgrade to the latest code (RC2 ain't it). Was this a totally fresh install of G3? Did you upgrade from a previous version and were the photos already there? Did you import these from G2 or were they uploaded from the simple uploader or from the server add method?
Get the latest code here:
http://github.com/gallery/gallery3/zipball/master
Upgrade instructions here:

Then see if you can replicate this. If you can, see if using the Rescue module fixes things (it ships with the latest code)

This was a clean install of code downloaded from the site yesterday morning! One would think that the site would have the latest and greatest version posted, and that users would not be expected to chase down the latest through a maze of sites.

RC2 is the latest snap-shot, release, but far from the latest code. There have been many changes and since RC2 was released. RC2 (Release Candidate 2) is a milestone release that's all and hopefully the last milestone release before the official final 3.0 release. This is how ALL software works (closed or open source), you only get to actually see and be part of that process with open source code and projects though.
Follow the instructions above to get the latest code and see if you run into this again. Then we can track down the problem and fix it if it still exists. Again this isn't something you could do in closed source land

I think what he means is, things don't have very good flow for the end users to find things for G3. The release code is in a different place than the snapshots, the support reporting mechanism is different than the standard location for G2, etc. It's just very scrambled where everything is located. Now, if there was a single website page where EVERYTHING for G3 could be referenced from, that would make things I think a bit more user friendly, something of which I find not to appealing about the site, and support structure. I do however dig the software, and think its great. Just some detail into how users interact with the dev team would make things better. Or at least, I think thats what he meant. :D If not, consider it my opinion.
Keep up the good work on the software, it rocks.
