Thanks for the interest. Actually, I haven't used MG2 in well over a year, for the very reason you mentioned. After losing the folder structure of a site, I decided to get away from the flat file database and to start looking for a MySQL alternative. I'm not sure MG2 could be 'fixed' to make it able to handle ALOT of images, due to its use of a text file as a database. So, to answer your questions, no, my changes don't make MG2 any more stable, they just make the output valid HTML, and I can't code a fix for the instability issues. The search for a replacement to MG2 led me to Plogger ( http://plogger.org/ ), which I've found to be more stable than MG2. Plogger has its shortcomings, but on the whole I find it much more dependable. I've developed a few themes for Plogger, too: http://www.ardamis.com/2007/09/10/plogger-3-theme-broadway/ http://www.ardamis.com/2007/07/05/plogger-beta-3-theme-air/ Good luck. Hey there, Colin.

I know MG2 is intended for small galleries, but what happens when you feed it ALOT of photos. I have been having problems, sometimes when a photo is uploaded it drops the index and all the photos then appear in the root folder. its quite a bug, if I can manage to fix that, then I could potentially use it for a number of sites. Does your version address this issue please? or can I please ask your assistance to help program a fix? please drop me a line. Many thanks, Cheers, Colin Hi Ardamis, this is nicely done :) just wondering if I could enlist your assistance on something.
