I recently realized that linking to large images in my blog was really sapping a lot of my bandwidth, so I decided to add an additional, smaller size to the default sizes generated. I then told gallery to regenerate images so that I'd have the new, smaller size if I needed it. This apparently changed the URL to every image in my gallery. So every single blog post I've ever made with an image in it is now broken. Please, please, please tell me that I'm misinterpreting what I'm seeing, or that there is some way to recover the old URIs, so that I don't have to manually fix every blog post and so that my google image juice is not lost forever. If there isn't, and sadly I assume that there isn't because there is no particularly good reason to store them, at least tell me that someone realizes that this is a gobstoppingly huge bug (URIS SHOULD NEVER CHANGE) and that it'll be fixed soon. [I've got a simple gallery 2.1 install w/mysql; nothing complicated, so I've skipped all the requested details. Can provide them if requested.] |

yes, this was the case in g2.1.
maybe you've got a backup that you can restore...
in g2.2, this has been fixed to a large degree.

Feck. And I was going to upgrade this weekend; spent the time analyzing server logs and determining I needed smaller images instead. Ah, fate.
I'll poke the backups; thanks for pointing out the obvious when I'm so pissed.

Oh, hrm- what should I restore? Would the database be sufficient, or do other files need to be restored as well? Thanks!

if you didn't add/remove/move/delete any files/albums and didn't install new modules since you backed up your database, restoring your database should be enough.
generally, you should restore the db and the g2data folder (and the gallery2/ folder if the backup is from a previous g2 version).

Doesn't matter, the last backup was monday (the screwup was saturday) and there are no incrementals. !@#@!#@!#!. But thanks for filling this in; hopefully it'll be useful for someone else.
