I'm running my own gallery-perl-scripts to maintain my picture-albums (approx. 15000pics). I'd really like to switch to G2, but I havent figures out if G2 can do the following: 1) import a whole filestructure of approx. 800 folders with total 15000 pics and create a album for each folder and keep the nested strukture of the folders/albums. For this is very important to me, cause I dont like to upload every album or even picture on my own. Later it would be very nice just to add new folders/pictures on the filesystem and have G2 import the changes. Doing so it would be very easy to work on the same pictures with G2 and, lets say ACDSEE. Is this possible? 2) I'd like to have very detailed permissions on a per-picture-base. Lets say, I assign accessrights for aunt mary to all the pictures of my latest hiking-tour, so she can see how nice the mountains are. But then there are these pictures of me and my buddys swimming naked and I dont want aunt mary to see them, but the other user jim and jack should see them, cause they are on the pictures. you get the idea!? Defining permissions on a user/group-base and apply permissions recursively would be a very nice features too. Lets say I've a album called mountains including 20 subalbums. I want to be able to give user tom access to all these albums with one click, but then remove access to one of the 20 subalbums and so on. Is this possible? thnx a lot, |

1) yes. it adds folders recursively and creates new nested albums etc. the result is an album structure representing your previous folder structure.
1) b) "monitor your folder structure and update g2 accordingly". this request is quite popular, but not yet implemented in g2. it's perfectly possible to write a g2 module for that yes.
2) g2 has per item permissions yes. you can have different permissions for each photo in an album. g2 has also user and group permissions.
permissions can be applied recursively, sure.
not complete yet, but take a look at the feature list on http://codex.gallery2.org/index.php/G1-G2_Comparison#Feature_Chart

Can you do this to recover:
1. Reinstall Gallery with a new database table.
2. Use the G1 importer ... however import from a G2 album directory ?

how exactly do i import the filestructure? every option I pick (well, between applet and remote because i dont want to ftp gigs of files to the server) dumps ALL the photos into the same album.
i am in a similar situation, and i remember using a script called g2add.pl from http://galleryupdates.jpmullan.com/
does that script still work with G2.1?
