Mastering Gallery

Ok, to be honest – I f*cked up. To be bluntly honest and not sissy american pseudo censoring(using the asterisks where they should be); I *fucked* up big time!

I deleted my Gallery installation on bergatrollet.se

There was still a bit of confusion on the installations, and the versions after the migration. I should have known better, so it’s not a blame but a reason; My Webhotel keeps me with Fantastico and Softaculous and there was a confusion between the two.

So let me give you a few pieces of advice here;

If you have installed your stuff via Fantastico, I first suggest that you have Softaculous import the setting from Fantastico. After this you are migrated and done. Never use fantastico again.

If you did as this retard and accidentally deleted the installation of the G2 stuff, you can actually import the old pictures from a backup. “Backup”??? Well, I’m a retard, not a complete wacko so I do have a backup

Restore pictures from backup:

The G2 of Gallery stores the actual files in the folder “g2data/albums/” … Add the module “Server add”, and point it at the pictures and then just let it work it’s way through the bunch.

Please mind that the metadata is of course not there, and you have naturally also lost sorting, comments and what have you but this SURE beats uploading them all again.
