Hi, Roger.

Thank you for replies on my previous posts. I've got few more questions:

1. When I edit a role and uncheck one sub-album, it doesn't show top level albums anymore under All albums. For example, I have 10 top level albums ("Year 2000" up to "Year 2010"). Each one has 12 sub-albums (January to February). If my son's role applies to all of them, he can see all 10 top level albums under All albums. Let's say I don't want him to be ale to see album "Year 2009/February", so I uncheck it in his role's properties. Now when he logs in he doesn't see 10 albums under All albums. Instead, there are all sub-albums from Year 2009 folder right under All Albums.

2. If there are no pictures in "Year 2009" album, it get's thumbnail which says "Empty" which makes an impression that the Album is empty. Is there a way to change this default thumbnail picture? I also noticed that sometimes upper level album gets the same thumbnail as one of it's sub-albums, even when upper level album has no pictures in its root. Not sure why it happens, but that's exactly what I'm looking for to accomplish.

3. Related to #2: is it possible to assign the same thumbnail to all albums and all its sub-sub-sub albums without copying this picture inside each folder and sub-folder?

4. Is there a way to see if there is a synchronization in progress. Sometime I run synchronization, get an error message, run it again and the message that another synchronization is already in progress.

5. Is there a way to run a synchronization so that it doesn't stop if there is an error message but keeps going? I've got 70 000 pictures and if I get an error message on number 65 000, I've got to start the process all over.
Examples of error messages I was getting: "Access denied", "Path is longer than 260 symbols". So. I need to be aware of them to correct them later, but need synchronization not to stop because of that.

Appreciate your time.

I see what you are saying. Unfortunately, that is a limitation in the current security architecture. Associating an album with a role requires that all of its children are also associated. This greatly simplifies the code but it means some situations are not easily handled.

There are some settings in the section 'Empty album thumbnail settings' on the Albums - General page in the Site admin area. You can also assign any media object as the album thumbnail by manually updating the ThumbnailMediaObjectId column in the table gs_Album. You can see the ID in the 'moid' query string parameter when you are viewing a media object.

See previous comment about manually updating the table.

4. Is there a way to see if there is a synchronization in progress.


The only way is to inspect the table gs_Synchonize. There is a column named SynchState that contains a number that maps to the following states:

Complete = 0
SynchronizingFiles = 1
PersistingToDataStore = 2
Error = 3
AnotherSynchronizationInProgress = 4

Quote:
5. Is there a way to run a synchronization so that it doesn't stop if there is an error message but keeps going?


The synchronization process does silently handle many well-understood error situations, but I intentionally made it abort when unusual errors occur or ones that don't typically occur during my testing. The reason is that these might represent bugs, and I want users to report them so they can be fixed.

One could argue that I should collect errors as they occur while continuing to run the synch, but the very fact that these are unexpected errors means it is risky to continue. Better to stop and encourage the user to fix them.

Regarding "access denied", I am considering changing the synch logic to ignore these errors. It would be helpful if you posted the full error details of this error (look in the error log).

Finally, note that once a media object is synchronized, subsequent synchs are very fast because GSP is smart enough to notice that it does not need to build a thumbnail or compressed image. Reprocessing those first 65,000 objects to get back to the location of the previous failure should take a fraction of the original time.

Roger, thank you for the info.

I think I was able to reproduce this:

It happens if you run synchronization without child directories in the folder which has no pictures in its root. It gets the the same thumbnail as one of it's sub-folders.

Here is the example of "access denied" error. Also, I've got a collection of different synch. errors, including "enumeration operation may not execute.", "Failed to compare two elements in the array", "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation". Would it be helpful if I post them?

That is intentional behavior.

Thanks for the 'access denied' error.

I believe the errors "enumeration operation may not execute." and "Failed to compare two elements in the array" are a result of multi-threading issues when multiple users access the same object. Fixing this is already on my to-do list, so you don't have to give me the error.

The error "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation" is an expected error when .NET 3, 3.5, or 4.0 is not installed on the server, although it should happen silently and not bubble up to the UI. (Technically, it is more of an informational message rather than an error and does not represent a problem) If this is not the case, then yes, I would like to see the details.
