Hey,
I've already spent a few hours in the G2 support forums trying to solve installation problems (was stuck on step 5) and configuration issues with Imagemagick and was successful. I've looked at many posts regarding thumbnail creation and image resizing; however, none of them have been useful.
I have successfully configured/tested/saved my settings for imagemagick. The problem is this: thumbnails are never created (neither are resiszed images) even though I check the 'Create thumbnails now' box. I have searched my G2data directory (where i assume the tumbs and resizes would be stored), but these files are not there. This results in extremely slow access by users of my gallery, as each image is slowly resized when they are requested by a user.
I have seen posts like mine where use of a PHP script helps (the script link seems to be dead). All I want to do is make all the resizes and thumbs when the images are uploaded to G2...this option was AWESOME with G1 and I am very disappointed that this feature isn't present/working with G2.
Also, moderators have said that images will be resized once accessed for the first time...this is true in my case; however, they are resized yet not saved in g2data, or any other area for that matter. This results in resizing images every single time they are requested.
Please tell me I've overlooked something simple.
Thanks!
MacDanny
