hi i want to reuse the scaled images (eg thumbnails) created by the gallery2 in another application (joomla cms). it seems like these scaled images are not in a convcentional graphics format like jpg, because i cannot find them in the whole gallery directory tree. i suppose they are stored somewhere below cache/derivative/...., but i have no idea how they are accessed. can gallery2 be configured to create "real" scaled images (i mean something like .jpg)? otherwise, can these scaled images be accessed easily? thnx pwrslv |

they are jpg, but the files have a different name.
use the URLs generated by g2 and don't link directly to the g2data dir.

thanks for your response. i see that using the generated urls is a possibility. Joomla however, the cms i want to integrate the gallery in offers a nice media manager that procides convenient ways to include images in pages. unfortunately this manager only finds "real" images, it does not recognize those cached files form the gallery.
so there is no easy way to change the cache behaviour of the gallery2?
