Hi there,

I have a large collection of MPG and MP4 movies that I'd like to add to Gallery along side my photos, but due to their size uploading them all via the web is cumbersome. I'm sure that in and old version of Gallery you could just scp photos to a location on the server and tell Gallery to create an album using all photos there. Does this functionality still exist? If so, do I need to download/enable some module?

Also, I know you can enable a module via G3 to facilitate a shopping cart that allow purchasing photos via the web. I turned it on, but nearly boked at the prices of whatever the company was. Are there any other alternatives with more reasonable prices e.g. snapfish/walmart/target?

Thanks!

That specific issue you mention about digibug (pricing) is being worked on. Yes, it cost nearly $8 to get a single 4x6 sent across the US via USPS and it took a full week!

As for uploading large files, check out the Server Add option. FTP the files to the server and import from there:
