Gallery 2.0 was released a few weeks ago, with promises of easy install and easy upgrading from old gallery versions. Since I’ve been using Gallery for a few years now, I went for the upgrade. I’ve been using flickr for my more important photos lately anyway, so I didn’t have much to lose. I installed last week, but as anyone stopping in on the local gallery may have noticed, not all of my photos made it through the update. I didn’t lose anything, but Gallery 2.0 just can’t seem to import some photos from old albums. As of yesterday, I’ve imported everthing that the auto-importer would let me, but I’ll have to go back in manually and figure out what all is missing. The problem lies in that the importer, being all automated, fails on a few specific images. In the process, it freezes, and there is no way to skip that image and go on with the import process for the rest of an album. So, the gallery is back up, but will be missing major parts of some of the albums until I can get this worked through. This all makes me wish Flickr would add a few of my most desired features—mainly a gallery-like interface with sorting so that my picts come up in the order I want them to—and I could just make the big move to all flickr.
