The American wing is undergoing a major remodel, so they've closed off most of the gallery space. They must also be working on the storage space as well because in the space that's remaining open, they have what appear to be miles of storage shelves with just tons and tons of stuff, unlabled except with catalog number and then some reference computers which appeared to be the collection database. So a whole row of silver, then a whole row of glass. And not just an example of this glass and example of that glass, but whole sets, 12 of the same glass, then a stack of the same plates, etc. It was pretty awesome.

Bloody hell. I made the mistake of updating the photo album software that's hosting these photos. The new version is failing to display the captions we so carefully entered. The data is there but it's not being shown. :mad:

I tried downloading the software which I thought was cool looking and it baffled me completely!:blush:

The creator isn't a native English speaker, so his instructions aren't always completely clear. If you'd like help setting it up I'd be happy to assist. Once it's up and running on your site, it's pretty easy to work with.

Wow, that's disappointing. The guy basically said, "It'd be possible to make a script to automatically port existing captions into the new format...but that'd take too much time so forget it." I otherwise love his product, and can't complain too loudly as it's free, but to make an upgrade that makes hours of my own input from previous versions obsolete is pretty lazy. If you're doing a new install of the new version, there's no issue, but I have had to revert back to the old version and will have to stick with it unless he decides to make a proper upgrade tool.

Aaanyway, crisis over, gallery back to normal.

Is there a strong user base? If so keep an eye out for other people creating that porting script.

There does seem to be a decently large user base, enough that there's a pretty active forum. But I seem to be the only one mentioning this particular issue. It may be that I'm one of the few who's actually bothered to make use of the captioning feature so no one really cares.

He is in my religion, pal.

Wrong thread.

I'd like that! I have my meager set of Mexico photos I'd like to get up somewhere, someday!
