Due to a glitch in one of my albums (when I was uploading with Gallery Remote, it kind of froze while uploading), my top ten pictures page doesn't work anymore; however, if I tell the top ten pictures page to bypass the glitched album, it works perfectly. Is there any way to find where the glitch is at in the album, or is the best thing to do is simply to delete the album, and reupload all the pictures?

If I go the route of deleting and reuploading, is there a way to backup an album so that it'll have all it's comments and number of clicks still intact? Is there anyway to delete, and reupload all the pictures, and somehow merge the comments and number of clicks back for each pictures?

Thanks for any suggestions!

Stephen,
I have been following your troubles. Have you tried to rename the album and then rename it back again? I don't thik it will help as it just renames the directory and not the .dat files.
Just a shot in the dark.

Another option is to use the new gallery remote (V1.3.1)and give it the folder that you have the files in. It says "....download images already in the album,..."

my $0.02.

I am sure that you can just save the folder/directory with all the *.dat files, *.lock and *.jpg and you should be able to restore the whole folder/directory. But it might not work if there is a tie into the .dat files in the albums directory. Worth a try.
