case problem (.jpg)(back to index)
Hello, i'm testing this gallery right now i found it great, but i have 2 little problem!
1) How can i specify 2 type of file extension?
I just realised that my photo folder/subfolder have different case (for example files.JPG or files.jpg) i have play with the setting file without result, does anybody know how to do that?
2) My pictures are mainly 1024/768 how can i ask folderblog to resize my picture so they can fit in the browser without having to scroll?
Thanks you for your help (and sorry for my english !)

You can't currently specify more than one file extension in folderblog (and probably you won't ever be able to). folderblog is case-sensitive because many (most?) webservers are case-sensitive — image01.JPG really is different than image02.jpg.

As for photo resizing, folderblog doesn't resize photos at all. You could force HTML resizing by specifying static or percentage based width/height attributes for your image tag, but it's probably best just to resize them yourself in an image editing program.

thanks you, for your answer.
i manage to find a ftp program that convert all my files to lower-case in order to use the script.
For the moment, as i don't want to re-upload all my images i have modified the css files in order to display the pictures smaller.
I'm currently using phpgraphy but i plan to move to folderblog because i want to switch from a gallery to a photoblog approach.
Phpgraphy generated low res picture if the picture is too big and can index more than 1level of subfolder, those features are absent from folderblog and that why i didn't switch yet.
