I am planning on writing my own client application that will need to be able to create new albums, upload pictures, etc. Gallery Remote is a good app, but my wife will be the one uploading images to our gallery site, and she needs something VERY easy to use. If I design it myself I can customize it at will.

Can someone point me in the right direction as to how I would go about interfacing with my Gallery2 site? It's installed on a WindowsXP server at my house, so I have complete control over it. I've read some posts about doing a HTTP post to gallery_remote2.php, but my g2 installation doesn't have that file? What file do I need to make http posts to?

Thanks,
Justin

you can use the remote module in G2, or the upcoming XMLRPC module. i think you can find code for this one in gallery-contrib on sourceforge.

Thanks for the reply.

I will be writing my app in VB.Net. I downloaded Gallery Local, which is written in C#. It looks like I'll be able to look through it's code and get ideas of how to commumicate with my Gallery installation.
