Yes this odd, but I want to alter the data in my Gallery poll (ratings). I don't want to reset the stats, I just want to "fix" or "change" the numbers a bit. How do I do this? Where are the poll stats stored? How do I recognize which data is that which I'm looking for (ie. which set of numbers represents the number of votes for photo X)?

Thanks.

I don't think that is an odd question. I also need to alter the data in my Gallery Poll (ratings), not wanting to reset stats either. I'd like to know where this data is stored. Would be a nice feature to include in the future.

I don't see a request for this so why not make one: http://gallery.menalto.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpWiki&file=index&pagename=Feature%20Requests%20and%20Bug%20Reports

does anyone know how the data is actually stored?
I don't think this feature is actually going to get in, and I'd love to just be able to go into the text file and fix a few things.

I've got some people who try to jack up the votes... so I want to fix it, and not ruin all my voting

thanks!

The votes are stored together with the photo metadata in photos.dat

You re right, i won't make this feature. I updated the feature request.
