I established a new Gallery 3 and tried to import following instructions for the Gallery 2 Import Module - but it seemed to hang up - no progress updating for a considerable time. Status was stalled at Importing picture 24 of 121.

I tried pause thinking I could restart but that just hangs with a status if "Starting up..."

Is there a process for restarting, or flush and do-over for the G2 Import Module?

I don't have a lot of information to import. The begin message said:
Gallery version 2.3 detected
Your most common thumbnail size in Gallery 2 is 150 pixels, but your Gallery 3 thumbnail size is set to 200 pixels. Using the same value will speed up your import.
Your Gallery 2 has the following importable data in it: 6 users, 4 groups, 6 albums, 121 photos/movies, 0 comments, 0 tagged photos/movies/albums

EDIT I discovered the resume actions on the Maintenance page, but resume does not do anything different - just stalls with the Start up... message displayed in the progress dialog.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jim

Perhaps your g2 install has a item that the g2 import module can't handle. The modules docs page has a few examples.

Anything in the import logs?

Is there mmore detailed log of the import than that accessed from the Maintenance page? That log only said stalled on a picture. I tried manually importing a couple of pictures into an album and determined large pictures fail.

I have decided that I need to study the new Gallery documents before continuing and will likey just load the albums manually.
