Hi there, What I want to do is migrate Adobe Elements 5 database to Gallery 2. Apparently this can be done with pix2gallery2 http://www.codeplex.com/pix2gallery2 However what I am not sure about is if it is possible to have a version control type system in Gallery 2 the way that Elements 5 apparently has. I will know more by the end of the week when I get a chance to play with Elements 5 and its database but I want to know if there is a way to use versioning in the images. For example, if an image is edited and uploaded, it must keep a copy of the original image so that it is possible to see the two or more images side by side and revert to any of the old versions, or even go back to the newer ones. Whatever other sorts of things there are as well that Elements 5 does. Is this possible to do with Gallery 2? Thank you. Ryan |

Sorry, Ryan, there isn't any workflow control in Gallery2. However, if you upload a new image with the same name, the new image is renamed so as not to collide, and both are kept. If you were looking to do some intensive programming, you could do some magic to track those collisions and then produce lists of files which are ostensibly the same (based on the filename they had when uploaded). This wouldn't be super easy, but it is *possible*.
Okay, it would likely be hard, but I'm trying to be optimistic for you.
