I first downloaded Gallery Remote 1.0b4 w/o JVM. I have Sun JDK 1.3.1 on my win2k PC.
Beta 4 would not log me into my gallery site (admin user). I downloaded beta 6 upgrade from
http://jpmullan.com/galleryupdates/
and copied those into the local install directory on my PC. Hooray, now it works :grin:
So I had no problems doing "fetch albums", drag & drop files from explorer to GR
and uploading the images. So that's great ! :grin:
I did find some 'features' that I would like to see... :cool:
- able to create a new album (sub)-directory before the upload
- when I focus on the GR window, the preview window is lost in the background and I
have to Alt-Tab to get it back. It was ok in beta 4, and I would like the preview window
to be sticky with the remote window.
- when I only have 1 picture in the 'Pictures to Upload' window, the preview window
shows an incorrect picture (same as last picture from previous upload), however once I
have 2+ pictures, I can click on a picture (or use up/down arrows) and the preview is correct.
- the 'Add gallery URL' should not add "http://" with nothing there, and it should not add
a URL which already exists in its drop-down list... which means we need a way to
modify/delete URLs in that list.
Thanks very much for your efforts...Dan. :smile:

Looks like I wrote too soon...
- after closing and re-starting GR, the preview window no longer appears at all upon startup of the program
- the pictures did indeed get uploaded, however they were placed in the *wrong* album. In fact, they ended up in the first album on my site. I wanted to upload a whole bunch more, but first I created a new empty album at the top level of my gallery and in the first position. After that I could upload the pictures and they end up in that directory, which I can then move to the proper sub-album location I really wanted.
Thanks...Dan.

In your GalleryRemote.properties file, what is the showPreview variable set to? If you close the Preview window in GR, it will change the setting for Show Preview.
Strange... I can't replicate this (it works fine on my site). Which version of Java are you using, on which platform? Can you follow the instructions in the ReadMe.html file as to how to enable the log and check that when you select your target album in the popup menu, it is indeed selected.
Also, note that in this new version you have to select the target album before you add the pictures, since you can upload to multiple albums at once.
Right, good catch, I'll work on it.
You can just edit any URL already in the list. Also it can be useful to have the same URL more than once (with different username/passwd). But you are right, there is no user interface now to delete a URL.

I can confirm this as well. I am using Mac OS X 10.2.1 with
<!-- BBCode Start --><TABLE BORDER=0 ALIGN=CENTER WIDTH=85%><TR><TD><font class="pn-sub">Code:</font><HR></TD></TR><TR><TD><FONT class="pn-sub"><PRE>

Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1_03-69, mixed mode)
</TD></TR></TABLE><!-- BBCode End -->
It appears to select the album in the drop down list but when I click on the the tumbnail it shows it going into the first ablum. I believe this is the relevenet section of the log

This was solved in b8

- 1.0b8 has fixed the problem when there's only 1 picture (as described above).
- I still don't think that GR should allow more than 1 "http://" in the list in case the user mistakenly hits the "Add URL" button. Where is this info saved so that we could modify it manually ?
Thanks...Dan.

I discovered that closing the preview window first, and then GR would cause the preview window to remain closed next time you start GR. So the solution is to only close the GR, which also closes the preview screen.
Confirmed that this is now working for me in 1.0b8 version. :smile: I also tested uploading multiple pictures into different albums, and it worked fine.
Thanks...Dan.

The list of Galleries is stored in the GalleryRemote.properties (see the ReadMe.html file for where that is). You can remove url.x, username.x and password.x (where x is a number). Make sure that the remaining entries use a continuous number range starting with 0.
Thanks for the confirmations of fixes!
