Error - Folder doesn't exist

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have uploaded 1.2.0 to my webspace, but all I get is an error "Folder doesn't 
exist" - no setup.

Double check that the folder you entered for the gallery exists, if it does 
could you enable all debug options in the settings and post the output.

Entered where? Shouldn't phppi run a setup on first usage? Or do I have to 
enter a folder manually?

Best regards,
Christoph

Hmm it must've run as you have a phppi_settings.php file in your phppi folder 
which is only created once you enter settings on first usage. You can get to 
the admin section by going to http://traumnarben.de/phppi/phppi/admin/ However 
if you don't know the password you may just need to delete the 
phppi_settings.php file and try loading phppi again, it should re-show the 
first time setup

Okay, the problem seemed to be, that the zip you offer for downloading includes 
a phppi_settings.php. The gallery seems to work now. However, I get a message 
that my GD is missing jpeg-support, what cannot be.

Best regards,
Christoph

Ah ok thanks for that, I must've done that while rushing. I'll remove that and 
reupload. In regards to the JPEG support I may have to see if there's any way 
that could be incorrectly detecting, it works fine for my install. You can 
safely ignore that if you believe you have jpeg support. Otherwise all that 
will happen is no jpegs will have dynamic thumbnails.

Actually just checking the code, it looks like there really shouldn't be a 
reason for it to incorrectly say you don't have jpeg support. Considering it 
says you have gif and png support would mean that it's checking GD ok but JPEG 
is missing from your GD info (which is what I use to check for support). I can 
only guess that your GD needs JPEG support added.

There's quite a few results on Google in regards to this type of issue. If you 
haven't setup this web server yourself then you may want to get this fixed 
through your web host.

Seems like everything works fine, youd did really great work! Is it possible to 
hide underscores and sorting prefixes like 003_? They really don't look very 
nice ;-)! Ans is it possible to use a random thumbnail from subfolders for an 
upper folder? I have sorted my albums in year-based subfolders an when a user 
browses the gallery, it icon on the "empty" folders let it seem that there are 
noch subfolders full of images.

Best regards ant thank you for this great gallery!

Good to hear it's working for you now.

It's definitely possible but being that PHPPI is file based and not based on a 
database it could slow it down greatly. Think about if the first image phppi 
found was 3 subfolders deep, that would be 3 times what it currently takes to 
search a folder.

What would be more feasible would be to only check 1 subfolder deep. I may have 
to look into that.
