Hello.

I have uploaded a photo to my Gallery 2.2 site that has created an error.

The file had ':' in its name, maybe it's the cause? It was converted to a '_' in the filename saved on the server, but when I tried to display the photo, I had a « Gallery has encountered an error » message.

I then removed the file from the server, so now the photo is shown as a « broken picture » in the album. I tried to delete the picture, but I can't: when I select « Delete picture » in the drop-down menu in the album, I get a list of the photos with a checkbox next to them, but I don't have the buttons at the end of the page to erase the selected pictures.

What can I do? I tried looking the database in PHPMyAdmin but I don't know what to erase...

Thanks.

Never. Let gallery manage the files you have uploaded to it.
Can you replace the image you removed?
Can delete the album(move the other images first)?

I deleted the file because it completely messed up Gallery: the album page where the picture is wouldn't event show up.

Deleting the file made the album page appear again, but with the « broken link » for the damaged picture.

I then put the image back on the server, with the same name as before, but there is still a broken link image for this picture.

If I must I will try to delete the album, but I am not even sure it will work.
