Hello Paour (I think you will respond :) )

I tried to find my answer in the Gallery2 website and on the http://codex.gallery2.org/index.php/Gallery_Remote page. I also checked for FAQ and Forum Search. I'm unable to find the answer.

When uploading pctures to Gallery version = 2.1.2 core 1.1.0.2 with GR 1.5.0. build 30 it does the following:
-GR Takes the pictures of approx 3-4 Mb, makes them like 800 x 800 max and approx 100Kb.
-Then it sends that picture to Gallery2

Should GR also take care of creating the Thumbnails for the albums and album overview page?

What I think I have learned (That's why I'm posting, I'm unsure) so far is that on the website where Gallery2 is running at least one Graphics Toolkit (Most heared is ImageMagick)should be available. Is this really nessesary? I'm running Gallery2 on a Linksys NSLU2 with Unslung on it, it has very little processor / memory power. So all my hope is on GalleryRemote that that would create the thumbs, and all resized photo's nessesary :)

Also I have great trouble to install ImageMagick on the Slung (Not succesfull) so no Graphic Toolkit is available on the Gallery2 website. I'm using GR on a Windows XP workstation and expect that ImageMagick is running within GR.

Have a great Happy New Year and if your busy I will receive you answer next year.

Regards Tom from the Netherlands.
