ThumbsPlus v10 Questions / Web page wizard
« on: 2018-06-26 14:27:51 »
Î downloaded the version 10 SP2 Build 4015 and again tried to create web pages from galleries with it ...

Still it is not possible just to generate a web gallery with the option "current folder", but with "Selected files only" and selecting all files ... it starts.

But then there is still an old, trivial bug: I select tif files (corrected with Adobe PS) and use the option "Convert images to .jpg". Running the process, it generates the htm-files in the selected directories, converts the .tif to .jpg, creates the thumbnail pages, but the links in the htm-files for the single pictures to show are:

image_nrx.tif

not

image_nrx.jpg,

so no pictures can be seen in the browser! This bug is much older than a year, I told it one and a half year before, it was recognized - but never corrected.

What is the problem with such a simple bug?

Lots of web galleries, still created with TP 7 Pro:

About 10 years ago I got a job, which included to reprograph and archivate hundreds of pictures and documents. At that time (about 2006/2007) I looked for a program to organize this - and detected ThumbsPlus (I don't remember the version number at that time).

Some times later I decidet to use it also for my own digital photography and also for building websites for other customers.

I had sometimes problems, but they could be resolved more or less perfect every time, and I did very much efforts to perfect and maintain my libraries and some of my customers. The use of flexible galleries is very important and essential for that.

For many years I'm now using the german version of ThumbsPlus 7 Professional. But it is somewhat out of time - for example, it cannot handle UTF character encoding in comments and descriptions of entries.

In the last years I have made some efforts to upgrade to TP 8, TP 9, and now TP 10 - and never succeded. There are no more German versions after TP 7, and some problems occur with different file extension names between the German and the English version of the program. This is probably nowhere documented, but with hours of looking and trying one seems to be able to find all that out.

Now TP 10 is able to convert direct the database format from TP 7, what earlier was very terrible (via .txt-Files or so), so I could really fast convert to TP 10 as database manager.

But what I never, never, never succeded was the transformation of all my Webgalleries, and they are a very great and important part of it all.

So I'm now at the very last (!!!) time to decide, if I should kill ThumbsPlus at all and look for other tools, or get in the next one or two weeks the solution for moving all my work to an actual and living (?) version.


You can find with ThumbsPlus generated galleries there:

and some more. I've nearly 200.000 entries in my database, and hundreds of galleries ... and it would be really hard to give all that up und look for another solution.

But if I cannot get the whole maintenace, especially of the galleries, working with an actual and supportet version, I must do so.

It would be very kind, if someone could help me with that.

ThumbsPlus v10 Questions / .tif-images in web page wizard
« on: 2017-01-12 15:50:32 »
If I use a gallery with some .tif pictures to generate a web page, TP10 will generate the needed html files, the thumbnail overviews, and .htm-pages for every image. It also generates .jpg-Files and copies them into the folder for the webpage. But in the source for the pages, where it should replace the metatag {{image}} with the link to the actual picture, there always appears "imagex.tif", "imagey.tif", "imagez.tif" instead of "imagex.jpg", "imagey.jpg" and so on.

So the images will not be displayed. If I let it not convert the pictures to .tif, I get a line with the correct link (imagex.tif), but the browser will not display it (you can only download the image when clicking with the mouse on it).

I cannot find out how to tell TP 10 to change the image-name suffix. In Version TP 7 Professional (German Version) this always worked fine.

If I use already .jpg-Files als Source with the same (!) schemes for web pages, it works fine in TP 10 also.

Another little problem: Marking "Current folder" on the page "Input Files" does not always work, but it shows "3 pages" (for example)*; only marking "selected files" generates a number of webpages (and I must always mark the thumbnails in the overwiew).

* It says: "Unable to find any files in your selection to process for Web Page Wizard".
