Hi,

Have installed G2b1 along side G1 and the installation went very smoothly (though I can't get Imagemagick to configure, but that's another issue I need to look at).

My problem is that I can't get G2 to import one of my G1 albums and its sub-album. It seems to go through the motions, copies the pictures across and even says the import is complete, but the album does not show up anywhere under G2 :-?

I have tried using "debug mode" to find any problems but that just falls over with the 30 second timeout so it's useless.

Under Firefox it simply sits at the inport complete page and nothing else. Under IE I get a javascript error:

Line: 23
Char: 6
Error: Invalid argument

Any suggestions?

bring up the javascript console (tools menu) in firefox and see what error message it has.
a bug is already filed about debug mode causing migration to fail.

In my case debug mode isn't causing the migration to fail as I only tried to use it after it fails to find out why it fails.

The FF debug console shows no errors which is odd.

Any way shouldn't:

<script type="text/javascript">updateStatus("Import complete", "", 100)</script>

be

<script type="text/javascript">updateStatus("Import complete", "", 1)</script>

i.e. 1 not 100?

Just as an update. I reset the G2 gallery using various parts of the test harness and completely cleared it down. I tried the import with Firefox again and still no joy.

However, I tried changing a few other things, MySQL transactions/disabling GD, and then tried importing via IE. Dunno why I used IE, but I noticed after the import there was a "Continue" link. I clicked this, got the import stats screen up and lo-and-behold, the new album appeared. This link under FF was so small on my screen that I didn't see it before.

Tried the same in FF and clicked the link - the album appeared. Problem solved but begs the comments:

* If the import is complete, why is there another step to really complete it?

* This "Continue" link needs to be made more important looking, or the "important function" it subsequently runs needs to have already been done in case another idiot like myself doesn't click it

BTW. The more I've used G2 the last few hours the more impressed I've become with the new version. I can't wait for the finished product to be launched - it rocks. I'll be sure to make another donation to the cause once it does. Excellent work.

It shouldn't matter if you click that link or not. The import should be complete when that link appears. I am just guessing here, but something that you changed allowed the process to complete.

So, what you're saying is that you successfully imported all of your albums?

Taomyn, I made the link bigger and fixed the problem where we were using "100" instead of "1". Good catches!

Thanks for the compliments -- we're working hard on making it better! (and thanks for the donation you already made :-))
