Most of the files I am having problems with I "uploaded" from local server following another clean install of gallery2. I think the upload method I am using might have something to do with it. I am going to do some more testing, but so far it doesn't seem that I have any problems removing items that I uploaded using the upload applet. But some of the pictures that I migrated and most of the ones that I "uploaded" from the local server do not display and have issues. Plus the migrating applet and "upload" from local server option never cleanly finishes.

I did have some issues with remnants on Gallery2 re-install #1 (this is #3). After that though I got in the habit of nuking all Gallery2 dirs before attemping another install. I also nuke the old MySQL database and recreate it every time too.

I did some minor flexing of the toolkits by rotating some of the images that display correctly and that worked. My toolkit priority is (they are all installed):
Gd
ImageMagick
NetPBM
> How much work is it to make a clean install of G2 (empty g2data / empty database) and import from G1 only in small pieces (not 5000 items at once)?
Not much because I've re-installed Gallery 2 3 times now so I'm pretty quick at it. As far as emptying the dirs I did a rm -r on the dirs used. As mentioned I nuke the prior DB before doing another install. Also, this last time I changed the DB name by adding a suffix, hoping that maybe issue was remnant DB entries or such.
If that seems like the best option then I can reinstall it again, I still have all source pics of course.
Ps. Every install so far has been via CVS
