Hi, I installed version 1.3.4 to check it out, was pretty happy with it.
Just wanted to test 1.4-rc1 too.

This is what I noticed:
if I upgrade, this is running 'sh configure.sh' , copying the content of the tar.gz to the gallery-directory, running 'sh secure.sh', I get the message that I need to rerun the configuration wizard.
So, I do this, but the configuration wizard is the on from version 1.3.4, not the one from 1.4.
Thought this was normal, so I just ignored it and finished it.
When I opened the albums, I got a message that the album was upodated.

When I wanted to add fotos, using the method of entering the path on the server (so not uploading it) I got the message:

Fetching Urls... 

Warning: unable to parse url (http:///home/jspeybro/Documents/fotos/25-03-2003/dieren) in /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/gallery/save_photos.php on line 113
Could not open url: http:///home/jspeybro/Documents/fotos/25-03-2003/dieren 
Processing status...

Guess that's a bug, because it adds http:// in front of the path instead of just looking in the path that I typed.

OK, so I uploaded the images using 'add photo'.
this worked, but the window displaying:

File upload in progress! 
This page will go away automatically when the upload is complete. Please be patient!

didn't go away.
If I use 'add photos', and uploading photos, that worked as it should.

so far for the upgrade.

If I just install v1.4-rc1, without installing any other version first, all seemed to work OK with the config-wizard, but the same problems with uploading and adding photo's appeared.

Just some feedback.

Ok, looked a bit closer. the problem with the serverpath isn't a bug I think, just a type of mine.
I discovered a miner bug though. When I rotate a photo clockwise, it does rotate the photo, but in the rotatewindow, it shows the original thumbnail (which has not been rotated) with a width and height switched...
The result however seems to be correct.

[rotating issue]

This has to do with your browser caching the original (unrotated) photo. When refreshed, the page tells the browser to render the photo in the new direction, but the photo isn't reloaded (your browser incorrectly assumes it hasn't changed). There's not much we can do about this, short of getting rid of the photo. If it confuses too many people, that's probably what we'll do.
