I noticed there is a limit to how much text you can enter in the "album description" for each album. When selecting "Album Options" -> "Edit Album" there is a "Desription" field to enter description text. If too much text is entered and submitted, the last part of the text gets cut off. Yes, I know it can look ugly with a very long description in the narrow sidebar, but I don't want to be limited. 1) Is it possible to remove this limit somewhere in the code? What will be the hack? Thanks!! |

Okay, this got filed as ticket at http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gallery/ticket/1568 . If you grab a snapshot ( http://github.com/gallery/gallery3/zipball/master ) and upgrade your Gallery3, you will be able to add descriptions up to 65k chars. |

Thanks a lot for the super quick fix! I upgraded to the snapshot and it solves the issue. |

The only problem I see is that I cannot open the full-sized photos anymore when clicking on a photo. I am not sure if this problem was introduced when upgrading to the snapshot, or at an earlier stage where I renamed my gallery folder (where I changed the base name to the new folder). I have directorypermissions to the /album folder and the full size view permissions for the albums are on. At some point the full sized photos came up when I was not logged in as a user, but now they never come up whether logged in or not. I am not sure how to debug it (nothing shows up in /var/logs/) so I probably need to go back to an older gallery directory and restore the database as well. |

No, the inability to access full sized images is not directly related to the snapshot upgrade. It was intoduced before the snapshot upgrade because album permissions did not allow full sized images for registerred users. I did activate the permissions after the snapshot upgrade, but it did not give access (I am tried this out and I refreshed the cashe and tried in two different browsers). I had to revert to the version before the snapshot upgrade and activate the permissions there. Now it carried when upgrading to the snapshot and it works. |
