I'm trying to import G2.3.1 in G3.

After the import of the users (2450), it imported 10 albums (first level, I have 3 levels), then it goes at the beginning, importing users again. And so on, again and again.

Please help!

Now I have 39 albums imported (at every try a few more), so it's not about levels.

I turned error reporting on and it stops with this error on status (center of the screen):

unserialize() [function.unserialize]: Error at offset 65530 of 65535 bytes

How can I know what's wrong?

I had problems with large images (20MB-30MB), one of the discrepancy I noticed was a total count of items present by G2 and the import tool. Perhaps it was trying to migrate an album/picture that didn't exist.
It would be nice to have a detailed log for the G2 import tool, including all items enumerated, processed, accessed, migrated, etc... It'd help me a lot.
Check the error_log on the server, it may reveal more info, I wish I could help more.

Because import of users was done, in helpers/g2_import_task.php at line 110 I replaced

case "users":

with

case "usersX":

This skips the step and... surprise!... the error is gone, the import goes on! I think it will be done in 2-3 days.

Can anyone tell me is this will have bad side effects?

Oh wow, you have so many users that the code we use to keep track of them is falling over! I don't think you want to do the import without importing your users -- your imported files will all have the wrong ownership. I created a task to work on this: https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gallery/ticket/1554 hopefully I'll have something in for 3.0.1 which resolves this. You probably want to hold off until then, sorry.

The problem seems to be at status update.

In g2_import_task.php , at line 81, I let only

while (!$task->done) {

and it's done over night.

About so many users, I have two suggestions:
- user manager needs pagination
- a feature to automatically delete inactive users for a year or so

Ah yeah that works -- that means that it imports all users in a single pass. This is great unless you're on a shared system in which case it will probably get you in trouble :-)

Please file tickets for the issues you see with too many users in the admin pages and I'll fix them when I can!
