Hi, in the announcements I've found the following:
[..]
- Resize images before uploading: this saves bandwidth and server-side CPU by resizing the images to a predefined size or the size default size for the album (only on Windows)

I'm using Gallery Remote 1.0 - Java on Windows (downloaded as a complete package together with the VM from your donwload links) - and couldn't find this option anywhere.

Thanks for any help.

There is currently no user interface for all the options. You have to edit the GalleryRemote.properties files, as explained in the ReadMe.html file.

Sorry - didn't read the doc well enough.

Resizing is working now and this is a great feature!!

If the preview of the pictures in the gallery remote app would speed up, it really would be Christmas time and everybody should be happy!!!

Best regards :smile:

What OS are you running? On Windows, the thumbnails should be pretty fast. I need help compiling and packaging the native software for Linux and MacOS X so they can catch-up speed-wise.

On Linux, I did the following to ~/.GalleryRemote/GalleryRemote.properties

resizeBeforeUpload=true
resizeTo=0,0
resizeToDefault=500,500

But when I use GR, it uploads the huge picture. What's more, when I view the properties file, these lines are now removed...

Any help?

GR overwrites this file when it shuts down. So GR has to be closed while you edit it. Other than that, the lines you added look fine.

Okay. I edited im.properties and now the options remain in ~/.GalleryRemote/GalleryRemote.properties. But, now, when I triy to upload images GR says "Uploading blah.gif (1/1)" and the progress bar continually "fills and empties" but it remains forever in this state.

This is on debian testing with the JRE included in GR. I also downloaded the latest GR classes, but that didn't help.

It works fine in windows...
:cry:

OK, the reason why it doesn't work on Linux is because I don't have IM satisfactorily compiled for Linux. I would gladly accept help for this.

In the meantime I really should make sure it at least doesn't fail miserably on Linux...
