    Hi,

    I installed My_eGallery yesterday and have been pretty happy with it so far. However, I am having problems with the thumbnail creation. I was using the "browser" option but that sucks up too much bandwidth - especially when I have a lot of remote users viewing the picture galleries at the same time.

    My linux system has NetPBM and ImageMagick on it. I tried enabling those options under "General Settings" but it doesn't seem to create the thumbnails as I expected.

    Does My_eGallery _not_ create the thumbnails automatically with NetPBM or ImageMagick? Or, am I doing something incorrectly?

    Thanks!

    -Rich

    I have had the same frustrating problem with MeG. Both netPBM and ImageMagic will only create *0-length* thumbnails. The thumb filenames get created, but that's it - they are zero length.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    I switched from using My_eGallery to a (in my opinion) much better and powerful program called "Gallery":

    http://gallery.sourceforge.net

    I've been VERY happy with it so far. It works fine in PostNuke. It is definitely worth checking out and using.
