[opensuse] Re: protecting online images
some report on my tests. No gallery programm is really good. The main problem they have is not related to protection (for this Gallery do the job, inserting a random part in the filename also probably), but no Gallery programm I tested was able to cope with pre-existing uploaded images. I have 80Gb of original photos and this mean more than 10 days continuous upload on 1Mb (up) dsl connexion. can't be done several times! Gallery (2 & 3) *copy* each image to it's proprietary folder - not an option for such big data. Can't upload more than 2Mb files and I have 15Mpix photo camera... Piwigo makes the best work, keeping high def photos and the other sizes in different folders easy to identify (and probably linkable - not yet tested) Digikam (export) creates various mixes between images sizes (thumbnails mixed with full size) and sometimes changes the image name to something completely différent making them unrecognisable... I work with the piwigo team and will report if ever a solution is found :-) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://news.opensuse.org/2009/04/13/people-of-opensuse-jean-daniel-dodin/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

No, gallery2 & 3 will use sim-links. That is what I use, and I have no "proprietary folder" on my system. I have gallery2 installed in a directory beneath /srv/www/htdocs/gallery2 and the photo sim-links are on a remote hard-drive. The only copied photos are those for display at a different resolution than the original and unless you want to sit and wait while some application provides a different resolution view of a photo, that is what *most* gallery's do.

I am happy that you find Piwigo so easy to manipulate, I find it to be an obscure maze with little understandable documentation. But I am old and set in my ways :^) Gallery allows YOU to decide the display resolution and allows you to provide the viewer with up to four resolution choices.
