Discussion & Troubleshooting / Troubles with auto-thumbnailing not none being found

« on: January 12, 2003, 05:27:12 AM »

I've followed the instructions of how to batch upload images (with out thumbnails so i can use the auto-thumbnail option) from the FAQ section.  but when i do get to the point where i want the thumbnails to be made the script checks for missing thumbnails and it doesn't find any.

so what am i doing wrong? imagemagick does work on the system since my old gallery script uses it fine still.

my steps

1) add catagory -> fill in the info click add
2) copy over pics to that catagory number in the /data/media/  dir
3) check for new images -> chose catagory -> click check new images
4) list of images show up, with activate and comments selected yes -> click add
5) images are added
6) click auto-thumbnail -> click check thumbnails -> None are found

oh and i've pointed the location of imagemagick to convert.exe since everything else seems to not let the script find imagemagick.

Installation, Update & Configuration / How does auto-thumbnailing work

I'm not all to sure exactly how auto-thumbnailing works.. im using imagemagick and have it pointed to convert.exe, when i tried it for the first time it found a few images that didn't have thumbnails and converted them fine or so it seems. but since that first time now when i have new images put into the database they autothumbnailer doesn't find the images. I entered the pictures in the same way as the others (copying the picture files into the numbered dir then checking for new images in the admin section).

how can batch upload a bunch of pictures and have this program create the thumbnails?
