Arles Question

Tommy · 2009-03-11, 10:24 AM

when using arles

when i have it make the html pages
it copys the images to a subfolder called "images"

now i am stuck with 2 copys of the images
I have to manually open the folder and delete the original set

and if i upload it this way the image folder is a open directory

does anyone know how to make it use the original images and leave them alone

Please.. I been playing with this for hours

When you say two copies of images, are you saying two image files?

Tommy · 2009-03-11, 11:32 AM

no... ok i start with 15 pics in a folder called .. hardcoresex

i end up with 15 pics in the folder...hardcoresex
and
15 pics in a images folder plus thumbs

that gives me 2 copys of the pics

When you are done making your gallery with Arles you should have 4 folders: Arles images, images, Imagepage, thumbnails. Then your HTML pages. If you are submitting too free sites then you do not want the tumbs linking to a HTML page. Just change the setting in the thumbnail index tab to link to images. That will also eliminate the imagepage files. Hope this helps.

When you open arles, there is an advanced option (click it).Then Click on the folders tab. Then you can change the original images folder to user defined. I havent tested this myself, I just delete the extra folder. That would be my best guess. Hope this helps

Also on the File location page I use other as my "target folder type" and then I choose where I want my files. You could try your "target folder type" as "same as source folder"

LD · 2009-03-11, 11:44 AM

I noticed that too...instead of hitting the "all" command, have you tried using just the "thumbnail" and "html" command? It's an extra click, but it shouldn't do anything with the original images since you're bypassing that command. You would want to have the thumbs linked to original image (image pages/advanced...link options)

Tommy · 2009-03-11, 12:39 PM

thanks everyone.. none of that works

what do you do with your original images

Jicky Jack · 2009-03-11, 12:40 PM

I have an older version. But I'm set it up so everything is in the "source" folder. Option is under file locations

You can always ask on there forum http://www.arlesforum.com/

Using Arles 5.6, it won't allow me to overwrite the original images if they are being modified (resized, watermarked).

Bill · 2009-03-11, 05:46 PM

I resize the images with photoshop, and use arles just to make the thumbnails placed on one long page.

Then I assemble galleries.

I've been doing this so long I forget what the settings are.

NY Jester · 2009-03-11, 08:16 PM

Yeah I havent used Arles in a couple yrs, but there used to be a an overwrite option or create new option.

james-st · 2009-03-11, 09:06 PM

I would use an editor like cute html
find and replace the folder name
ie edit ind/replace
search for replace with
put the location of the origianl picture in
delete the ones you are not using
Once you have done this 1 time takes a few seconds

tommy did you get it working the way you wanted? If not icq me 29537100 and I will walk you through it. I have all original images stay in the main folder and just use a thumbs folder for the thumbs, I am sure thats the way you want it.

buttster · 2009-03-12, 04:59 AM

OK I should put it up here for anybody that needs help with arles.

Files Tab: target folder type: same as source folder
overwrite all
now click advanced button
File Names Tab:
Thumbnails: set prefix to tn or anything you want
Folders Tab: click subfolder: name thumbnails
image pages folder: target folder
images folder: target folder
original images folder: target folder
navigation and background image folder: target folder
stylesheets folder: in html folder
click close button
now go to index page tab: click advanced button
click on thumbnail links tab
link what: thumbnail only
link to: original images

your done all should work fine now, if it doesn't icq me.

Tommy · 2009-03-18, 04:14 PM
