I've posted G2Image Version 3.0.2.
It is a bugfix only. If you already have version 3.0 or 3.0.1 working with no issues, you do not need to download it.
Version 3.0.2 Changelog
*Fixed a bug where WPG2 tags and Drupal G2 Filter tags for individual images failed if G2 ImageBlock version was older than 1.0.9. Now degrades gracefully.
Version 3.0.1 Changelog:
*Updated prototype.js, scriptalicious.js, and effects.js to most recent versions. This allows the plugin and LightBox to function correctly on Safari and Opera.
*Fixed a bug where the custom alignment classes were not transferred from the WPG2 G2Image options tab to G2Image.
*Fixed a bug where Chinese Traditional translation was not working on some servers.
*Changed to use full URLs instead of server-relative URLs so that blog entries will display images in web-based RSS aggregators.
*Updated the Italian, Polish, and Chinese Traditional translations.
Please see the G2Image Version 3.0 announcement for more information on changes in v3.0.

g2image is great, but....
> one thing i noticed with the previous version was that it does not support duplicates of gallery images. this is not resolved in version 3.
> the new version 3 does not allow for input of a description i.e. a mouse over title, whatever you want to call it.
great code snippet though/

Thanks for the comments.
I tested version 3 with G2 replicas. I don't use replicas or duplicates personally. Just to make sure that we're talking about different things, how did you create the duplicates that are not working? I'll see if I can replicate this and then include a fix in the next version. The intention was to make it work with replicas, duplicates, links, etc, by changing the backend.
I changed the code to pull the mouse-over title to be the description in G2, but it's easy enough to put a box back, populated with that description, but editable. I'll do that for 3.1.

don't worry kirk, sure your glad to get the feedback...the replica issue was something i'd been meaning to get word out about since v2, but didn't have a galleryembedded account but noticed its moved here now.
sorry i've stupidly just realised i put "its not resolved" - dont know what i was thinking - the replicas weren't working in version two, i've not tried with v3.0. so you'll have accept my apologies if this is something you've fixed!!! with v2 i ended up removing replicas to accomodate this so if it is working in 3 great stuff. the problem in 2 occured when creating them through gallery as normal -> thought there was only one way to create replicas, no?
patched to v3, but because the insert options have moved to the top + there's the ability to check multiple pictures it'd create a problem i.e. description input would be the same for each unless there was the java roll down thing for individual items like last time. in drupal i remember there's some configurable option in the module about onclick events so i imagine this doesn't work now.
if the duplicates problem is solved then the only thing holding me back from 3 is that i want to be able to put custom alt titles. apart from that its one sweet piece of code... the tree layout is much better and the lightbox thingymajig is serious.
well done mate.

You're right. That's why I took it out. Funny how you forget so quickly... I figured it was better to have people put the description in G2 for each image, and then get it for the HTML insertion, instead of having a text box that would be applied to all inserted images.
On replicas vs duplicates, I thought we were talking about the same thing. I just wanted to be sure there wasn't something actually called a "duplicate" that I wasn't aware of. Replicas do work in v3.
Two ways around the alt issue: 1) Put what you want in G2 description (or summary, I don't remember which and I'm about to fall asleep...); 2) Insert the HTML and then customize the alt from the code/HTML view.

yeh, see where your coming from, although i imagine it'd be useful to be able to both use the field from the gallery db AND a custom alt tag. i say that only because in my experience there's a time lag between uploading pictures and getting round to writing content! i've tended to put the alt tags in on the spurr of the moment sort of thing.
do you think this is something that will get solved in 3.1 then? it'd be great if for instance when you click on the image a box could still come up, just for the custom alt tag, leaving the other options at the top still? that would rule if you could do that in the next release. what do you think about including this in 3.1?
nice one for sorting the duplicates/replicas/whatever-you-want-to-call-them!
cheers/

I realized in the shower this morning (where I do all of my great thinking) that this is very easy. I'll include the change in 3.1, but for now, you only need to change 3 lines of code and delete 3 others as documented in this thread.
This will give you custom alt= and title= attributes in HTML tags and custom captions in LightBox tags. (alt= is the what shows if your browser can't download the image. title= is the mouseover text.)
