Re: [Ids-devel] Symlink Album's not showing up

[Brian Y. <br...@sp...>]

Only the directories in .../albums/ are symlinks, everything else is a
real file (on a smb mount).  All works well with the exception of the
album icon.

Made progress on the icon however.  Seems I can't create the
album_icon.txt by hand.  I copied one from a sub-album, works great.
Edit the file by hand, change doesn't take effect, even after running
previewmaker.pl.  Old icon remains.  (Then again..removed
Grove.album_icon.png, problem returns).

One thing that I noticed that may help is when I didn't have an
_icon.txt file, the picture icon in the top-level album had all three
levels blank (Grove theme).  After adding the _icon.txt file, the back
two layers of the icon seemed to have something, but nothing on the top
layer.

Album is at http://wlkerboh.mine.nu/ids/index.cgi (Denmark is the
troubled album).

Gentoo, apache2, perl 5.8.0, ImageMagick/PerlMagick 5.5.7.  No suexec.
FollowSymLinks used everywhere.  Images smb mounted 775.
