The Gallery 2 import is good to transfer all photos from old, Gallery 2, to Gallery 3. But sometimes the thumbnail is not converted completed. Some photos thumbnail are missing.
So, I installed Rebuild Items module.
Gives the administrator the ability to rebuild items (thumbs and re-sizes) as well as EXIF data. It marks the items in the database as ‘dirty’ and Gallery will then attempt to fix those items that are marked as dirty.
Gallery 3 has a module named as Gallery2 Import.
After installed the Gallery 3, it is an empty photo gallery. So I need to import all my existing albums into it.
Firstly, enabled the Gallery 2 import module.
Then click Settings > Gallery 2 Import
I use Gallery 2 for years. Now it is time to move to Gallery 3.0, which is just released one week.
There are some advantages to upgrade.
Gallery 3.0 means simple, powerful and secure photo management.
It is simple to install it.
I spend about 15 minutes to install it.
As you know, I have a Gallery 2 photo albums with more than 4500 photos. So when I enabled the G2 import module and start to import all my existing albums, it took me about 2 hours. Actually the computer time and server time. I just click start to import button and go to TV.
