I'd like to know if there's any way to rebuild thumbnails for only a part of a gallery? The problem I have is that I've got such a huge nomber of files in my gallery that the rebuilding process always end in a crash. Therefore, I'd like to rebuild it by albums or by page or whatever! I want to do that because there's a small amount of broken thumbnails in my gallery and I'd want to get them ok. Another way I thought about that could be perfect to fix that would be to completely delete all the stored thumbnails and have them be rebuilt as they are used but I don't know how to do that either.

Are you putting your gallery into maintenance mode prior to rebuilding thumbnails? I have found that this helps avoid the crashing mid job when you are rebuilding your thumbnails.

Go to the album you want to rebuild and click on Edit Album. Go to the Album tab and see the " Apply settings to existing items " section in the middle of the page. That will allow you to rebuild the thumbs (and resizes) for just that album or all sub-albums.
