I use iPhotoToGallery, a plugin for Apple's iPhoto application. It work's great except for one, very important, thing: The comments are not exported.
I've emailed Zach about it but he haven't answered, so I try here, maybe someone knows about it!
TIA!
:roll:

I'm new to mac and iphoto but I installed this plugin today and tried it with some few uploads.
The comments ARE exported, but only into a custom field called "Description" in your gallery.
But, it seems that you cannot easily rename your old description-field to a new one without "loosing" all comments.. seems that gallery stores the field-entries by name, not by an ID ... maybe I missed something yet, as said, I'm also just playing around with it the first time and searching for a solution (I think there will exist scripts which does this anyway) .. but first I will take a look in the MacOS-Development-Folder if it's possible to tweak the binary of the plugin to rename this ;-)
(using Gallery 1.4.4, iPhoto 5.02)

I tweaked gallery_remote2.php and it's working now.
HowTo:
- in gallery_remote2.php
- go to function "processFile"
- near the end of this function you'll find:
- insert this at the marked (*) position:
- and replace "Beschreibung" to the name of the custom field you want to have the iPhoto-Comment filled in.
You may have to copy the code to the "extrafields." section above as well if the iphoto-plugin uses "extrafields.Description" instead of "extrafields_Description" in on of the next releases...

Now this seems to be a real serious problem: Titles and/or comments with Umlauts, Accents, ... are really not exported or at least not set in the gallery..
*sigh*

Read this:

PS.: These characters "ä á à ê" work fine with Gallery 2 beta 3 and iPhotoToGallery 0.62.
The have to be in the title since the Comments are not IMPORTED to Gallery (they are EXPORTED from iPhoto)

Hmm - where do you find the same functionality in the 2B3 version of Gallery, it looks very different that what is described above!
