Mass Image Creation does not work

[Stash]

Multiple Add is nonsense all that does is upload to my server as filezilla would do, i still need to manually find each file within the category structure to manually create the image page thumbs. That's okay when i have a few files for now but when i have thousands it will be impossible to use this application.

All "Multiple Add" does is upload the main files to my server it does not create anything, i have to manually find each file and create myself, total bs.

Trying to figure out why it won't generate thumbs has only broken the few thumbs that i did have working and no matter how often i hit the button to re-generate the thumb it will not work, even the few case examples i have is a nightmare to use

Hi,
Concerning 'Multiple Add' see: https://www.phoca.cz/documentation/77-p ... categories

Important!
If you have a lot of images in your gallery, you should enable the Pagination Thumbnail Creation parameter in Global Configuration before you add images into the gallery.

Concerning 'Thumbnail Generation': Check: backend --> Components --> Phoca Gallery --> Control Center --> Options --> Thumbnails --> Thumbnail Generation Settings --> Enable Thumbnails Generation=(should be set to)Yes

No, the problem is far more annoying than that a few months ago i made an attempt to remove your spammy "phoca_thumb" on all my urls it's beyond annoying and abuse to stick your company logo on every photograph i have, but it only created more problems for me later on, so i'm back to using this spammy phoca_thumb on every one of my pictures. Feels like abuse tbh.

On top of that i'm forced to use 4 photo "phoca_thumb" to host 1image just as a way for you to justify this company spam

Hi,
You feel abused by a free component? Then perhaps you should use a paid alternative, which will hopefully be less spammy.

If every image i had on my Windows machine started with Microsoft_Dynamics_365_Image1.jpg it would start getting a little annoying would it not?

While we're on the subject is there any roadmap to perhaps offering a non-free version where you don't plaster your corporate logo 4x on every image that i have on each category i own as we all know the wokerati have chased all developers away to other CMS outlets as K2 would even attest too, so there is next to no competition in the sef friendly gallery sections today. I would call Phoca sef acceptable but highly corporate abused, yes.

Hi, I like programming and so I once made Phoca Gallery and I said to myself that I would not put it in a drawer, but I would make it available for public download. And people liked it and so many volunteers signed up and together we made an extension that many people use. I am sorry that Phoca Gallery is not good for you, but there are many other alternatives. Try another alternative, maybe it will suit you better.

I and probably no one else are currently able to make a non-free version due to time issues. Phoca Gallery is an open source project, supported by many people, it does not put any corporate logo anywhere, because there is no corporate. It's open source, if you don't want to try another alternative and something about Phoca Gallery bothers you, it's on Github, just fork it and modify it to your needs.

BTW the specific string added to thumbnails is here because of technical reasons, to be 100% such image name does not exist as original and the system goes not to loop when automatically creating thumbnails in system (where it searches for the not created thumbnails for each original image).

I'm sure if Microsoft was to obtain your entire photogallery and append Microsoft_360_I_Example1.jpg you'd be over the moon that microsoft did this to your entire photo collection, don't lie and say there's no corporate hijacking message it's on every single one of the images, it's corporate abuse, just wear it and stop denying it.

Denying they do it case point and example, this is just Example1
phoca_thumb_s_Example1.jpg
phoca_thumb_m_Example1.jpg
phoca_thumb_l_Example1.jpg

There really is no alternative on Joomla even Joomlaworks K2 is waging if he's hanging around anymore
