"Scan directories now" - not working

Hi again Patrik:

I managed to restore my album after my Internet provider accidentally wiped out my account.

Even before that event, my SCAN DIRECTORIES NOW had been behaving badly. It went to a blank screen with "Done" indicated at the bottom of the Explorer screen, but new files had not been found.

That may (or may not) have happened around the time that I had added a picture, SCANNED, and then modified it and put it back with the same name and scanned again.

SOMETIMES, the overnight scan worked, other times, not. With the restoration of my files, something ELSE may now be wrong, as well.

SYSTEM CHECK now only gives me back a blank screen also. The LOG generally does not work either, but I did get a whole list of errors like the one below, after I deleted the testpicture.jpg from my data directory and then clicked on the thumbnail that was still there after Scan Directories Now. In album 0-199 a new picture called testpicture2.jpg has not appeared in the album.

Warning
08/02/04 10:44:12 getimagesize(../0albums/#---0-199/testpicture.jpg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory
/hsphere/local/home/glassicnut/glassicannex.org/0phpalbum/main.php (Line:1533)

-- "glassicnut" above is my user name for my internet provider. - I DID get a new password from them after the file loss as well as a new ftp location (that may not be correct in the restored files)

Overall, the album is there and seems to be working fine. I am glad to share my login info if you need it. Thanks, Don

Scan directories now followup

Hi -

Unless you have done things remotely, ghosts seem to be at play. The "scan directories now" worked correctly this moring, and the removed thumbnail finally disappeared and the new picture was added.

I added 3 other pictures today and they were found by "scan directories now" -- so, for the moment, my problem has gone away.

Much of this may have to do with the date stamps on files that were changed when the internet provider restored my files.

So, for now, please disregard the question, and if you, Patrik, did something, thank you.

Don
