Hi all,

I set up Gallery2 on a webserver. Everything was fine until I wanted to upload photos.
This are two imporant setting of G2:

1. Maximum size of elements are 1 MB.
2. So I want to use ImageMagick to resize bigger elements. Acticated and seems to work:

That is what I do step by step:
- Login the gallery
- Add element via Gallery Remote (Java Webstart)
- Conntect the Gallery and choose a album
- Add a big photo to G2 Remote. Then I get the message:

- I start the upload anyway:

After a few seconds it abords:

This also worked via ssh:

Quote:
/usr/bin/convert -quality 90 -size 150x150 +profile '*' 'CIMG0001.JPG' -geometry 150x150 'thumb.jpg'

I don't understand this at all! Can someone help please?

It's referring to imageMagick locally on the client, not the webserver.
The binary on the server has no privileges to work on images locally on your computer.

I have a Windows XP client without ImageMagick.

I want ImageMagick, that is installed on the server, to resize all big photos that are uploaded onto it. It's because I can't force all people to Install ImageMagick on their clients if they want to upload some large pictures.

I am sure that this is supported by G2!

Gallery2 has that built-in.
Gallery Remote is asking if you want to re-size before upload.... in which case you would need a local copy of IM.

But to have G2 build resizes Edit Album -> Album Tab -> Resized Images and also check/un-check the box "Keep original image?"
This will utilize the server's copy of IM.

If you would like to suppress the IM warning in gallery remote...
Gallery Admin -> Import -> Upload Applet -> Upload Applet Settings -> suppressWarningIM

If I set the last two options and press Save, both boxes are unchecked again when I go back to this site:

Are you using a stock theme?
try to save those options with matrix.
and do it from the root album.

Oh, sorry, yes the boxes would be unchecked next time. But the settings should have populated recursively.
