This has not been a month when all things I touch turn to gold. Now I've touched my Gallery2 photo store - G2data, and next thing I know I'm having to rebuild it. I won't bore with the details explaining why I deleted the existing folder structure - plus backups. I'll just ask if there is a way to rebuild the G2data folder structure, populate it with the original image files, and have G2 reconstitute usable albums from what it remembers (in mysql, I think).

(Short explain: Deleted "new" when I thought I was deleting "old")

No.

You can get back to working (without comments, view counts, etc) without the database, but you can't go the other way around. You need g2data and the database to make a working Gallery install. Period.

Guess I'd better get busy, then. Thanks, nivekiam.
