How many images do you have in your NextGEN Gallery ?

03Jan10

Happy new year ! A user ask in the forums if there are some limits on the amount of albums/galleries/images. And one user answered that he have

44467 Images, 1360 Galleries and 72 Albums !!!

I never tested such an amount of images, but it’s great that the plugin still works for this purpose… How many images do you have in your gallery ? Are you still satisfied ? What could be optimized ?

I start to wrote this plugin  just for some personal projects with not more that 1000 images. I know that some features are not really optimized for a high amount of galleries/images (Drag & Drop Album page is not that good for this amount, TinyMCE Button is not usable). anyway I will do my best to optimze this for the future…

    This is not related to your post above…but I just wanted to say that I absolutely love your WordPress theme here and was wondering which one it was….or did you design it yourself? I love its simplicity. Thanks!

    I currently have 3 albums, 86 galleries and 14.989 pictures!
    Nextgen is still running smoothly without any problems.

    Alex, will there be a build in searchfunction for the front end in the next version of this great plugin?

    It would be great to give my visitors a searchfunction to browse trough my 14.989 pictures!

    Thanks for your work!

    I have

    I would love to be able to list the galleries alphabetically when using the “add an image” feature in the backend….

    Would love to see an option for recognition of manually created thumbnails when uploading images…
    for example recognizing thumb_name.jpg is the thumbnail for name.jpg and tossing it in the appropriate folder.

    so far:
    127 Images
    8 Galleries
    3 Albums

    but I just started building the website…
    BTW: there is a BUG when you set to crop the thumbs to exact size: vertical thumbs don’t get the exact dimensions set…
    for example I have set the images to 100(w) x 150(h)… and some thumbs were 100(h) x 133(h) – the problem was always on the height… and to solve that I had to make the thumbs MANUALLY and up load them… after I did that they were still showing as 100 x 133 because for some reason the script was displaying that as the image width and height… any idea on what might be causing that?

    We’ve got:

    808 images,
    41 galleries,
    4 albums.

    I have

    3935 Images
    43 Galleries
    3 Albums

    I use them all for movie description.
    For that I expanded my theme a little bit with a movie index.

    Sometimes there are memmory errors, if I try to upload too many pictures at once. But It’s much better than single file upload ^^.

    Currently I have
    3098 Images
    80 Galleries
    0 Albums

    Working sharp as it can…

    Features I miss:
    - auto resize on upload
    - auto watermark in upload
    - keep custom watermark fonts on upgrade(now, folder get’s deleted i think)
    - captions template for single image(like for galleries/albums)

    Thanks for the great plugin, Matej

    At the moment we have 32654 images, 204 galleries and 32 albums. Every party I do brings 4 galleries and 1 album.

    Let’s hope the plugin doesn’t crash :)

    I think the greatest suggestion I would provide is single picture commenting! It helps alot if each pictures can have its own page to be displayed and comments specifically for it.

    Currently:

    3200 images
    237 galleries

    It would be great if the gallery search was in the main tree of the plugin and not in a separate one.

    Hey alex!

    Just wanted to say I LOVE this plugin!

    But since I got it I have been constantly and uneventfully searching for a similar plugin that shows videos. I love the fact you can put them in an album with a certain name and then go into that album to view the content. Do you know of any plugins that deal with videos in this way or would you ever consider making a plugin for that purpose?!?!

    If so please please let me know and I will hold out until you create it!!!!!!!

    Much love and thanks for your work!

    1196 images, 26 galleries and 1 album.

    if you won’t give gallery id to this link, it gives you xml of all images on your web site. This trick really helped me. Thanks all of you.

    This, unfortunately, requires at least 64mb php_memory_limit due to the fact, that add category/images page loads all the categories into a list. So, when there is not enaught memory (php_memory_limit) the add gallery page is empty (blank) so you can not create a new gallery nor add an image.

    So it would be nice to solve this problem. For example divide the add category and add image into two pages (not one with tabs, when all tabs are loaded in a time) and also divide categories alphabeticaly (for example) on multiple pages (also no tabs due to large amount of galleries).
