I have spent several hours searching through these forums for the answer but alas I need to ask your help!
I know what needs to be done but I just dont know how to do it myself.
I have over 25,000 photographs stored on my hard drive and when I first began I created a directory structure where my photographs would be stored according to the date they were taken.
Under the built in Directory "Albums" in my coppermine installation
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\photo\albums
I then create sub-directoriesfor the year e.g.
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\photo\albums\2010
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\photo\albums\2011
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\photo\albums\2012
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\photo\albums\2013
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\photo\albums\2014

Below the 'year' Comes the month. eg.
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\photo\albums\2014\01Jan
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\photo\albums\2014\02feb
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\photo\albums\2014\02mar

Below this the actual album itself eg.
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\photo\albums\2014\02mar\Med_Cruise
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\photo\albums\2014\02mar\Someones_Party
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\photo\albums\2014\02mar\Stonehenge

The problem I have encountered with "Batch Add" is that If I later add new photographs to an existing album (on the harddrive) the batch add process is marking ALL of the photographs for upload and not just the new ones.

After several tests I discovered that the batch add process works correctly if a folder is under the actual root directory "Albums" and only marks new photographs for upload.
eg.
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\photo\albums\newDirectory

It seems that a tweak to "Searchnew.php" is required - I think probably to the variable $expic_array
But I do not know howto do so.

Any help appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Batch-add should only mark new files, regardless of the directory depth. I confirmed the issue on my test bed and try to fix it as soon as possible.

Issue occurs on Windows driven systems, because of the directory separator "\" used in the parameter "startdir".

Please open searchnew.php, find

Code Select Expand

$startdir = $matches[0];
and replace with

Code Select Expand

$startdir = str_replace('\\', '/', $matches[0]);
