Hello everybody,

I have searched this forum yesterday evening and this morning, I did find other users with the same problem, but I didn't find any solution yet. This is the problem:

When I upload an image via web upload, everything works fine.
When I upload an image via the upload applet (resize pictures turned OFF), everything works fine.
When I upload an image via the upload applet (resize pictures turned ON), no image is showing!

After the upload applet is done, it says: "Upload completed" without an error message. The "thumbnail" is totally black (http://www.nogravity.nl/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=152&g2_serialNumber=1) and the images shows a red cross (http://www.nogravity.nl/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=151&g2_serialNumber=1).

Could you please help me further with this? I'm starting a gallery because my wife is pregnant and the baby may pop out any time soon (could be this evening :)). I'd like to share pics via the gallery.

Aargh, I tried several things now and I cannot get this to work.

Installed gallery2 on Fedora Core 4: same problem
Installed gallery2 on Fedora Core 6: same problem
Installed all kinds of image processors (netpbm, imagemagick, gd): same problem

This is a clean install, why doesn't this work? Has this got to do with Java on my computer (Windows Vista, Java 1.6)

as a temporary fix i suggest you disable client-side resizing of your applet.

go to site admin -> upload applet.

and add the override variable

resizeBeforeUpload with the value "false"

So then no resizing will be done at all?

no resize before upload.
gallery still generates resized image versions on the server...

if you want smaller original / fullsize images, you have multiple options:
- server-side resizing: use g2's sizelimit module
- client-side resizing: get GR's / the applet's resizing to work
- client-side resizing: use the windows publishing wizard (g2's publish xp module)
- client-side resizing: resize your images in a batch with irfanview or another tool

Oooh, I thought that resizing wasn't done on the server. Thanks for your reply!

Hi,

Did you ever get client side resizing to work? I am having a similar problem and unless I have imagemagick installed on my PC it will not correctly upload pictures via the applet. It says the pictures are uploaded, but the files are corrupt.

I have made sure the applet and the remote are the latest versions. The Java version on my PC is 1.6.0_01.

Cheers

Ian
