just for giggles I went in and made a page with photo gallery. I hadn't tried on this version
(2003) before I used an older version of FP.
Contrary to some other advice I use the browse feature, I never import the folder to the web
first. When I save the page the little box comes up and asks if I want to save the images in the
web, check yes, works 100% perfectly for me.
Win xp pro with SP 2
1 Gb RAM
P4 3.0 GHZ
FP 2003
If server has FP extensions, open the site live and make sure you don't have any of the previous
attempts (the image files) still on there...delete them live.
Close the live site.
Open FP on your local machine.
Delete your previous attempts at generating the gallery...all the images except the ones in the
folder that you Imported.
Run Tools | Recalculate Hyperlinks
Close FP
Download Steve Easton's FPCleaner:
http://www.95isalive.com/fixes/fpclean.htm and run that on
your local machine with FP closed.
Now Open FP and Open your Web/Site and try to regenerate the gallery, then Re-Publish.
