Migratr 0.9.9 - Gallery2 Supported!

Posted by Alex

Hello there friends!

A few new things in this version:

1. Support has been added for Gallery 2. This has been tested on 2.2.3, but should work with all 2.x versions. As a sidenote, this requires that you have the “Remote” module installed in your Gallery 2 installation (since Migratr uses the same API as the Gallery Remote client). If you get authentication errors, try downloading the Gallery Remote, and testing with that to make sure your Gallery installation is set up to work with desktop clients.

2. Updated to the newest version of the FlickrNet library. This means some bugfixes, performance enhancements, and most importantly, the ability to disable the cache! Resuming a migration from Flickr & 23HQ should run a little smoother now. This also means that we have all been liberated from having that “Flush Cache” button sitting there in the import screen, generally looking smug and not making any sense. Since there is no longer a cache to flush, it has been removed.

3. I changed the “You tried to export to the same service you imported from” message from an error message to a confirmation (Yes/No) dialog box. Being that Migratr was designed with the intention of moving photos between services, it had honestly never occurred to me that someone would want to import from one service, and then export to that same service. To that end, I wanted to make sure that nobody accidentally went on “autopilot” and accidentally created doubles of every photo in an account. However, several of you in the forums have mentioned using it to move between accounts on the same service. To that end, Migratr will now simply pop up a dialog as a gentle reminder to make sure that you’re selecting the same service intentionally, and then let you proceed as you wish.

And now, for a the traditional “Big Giant Download Button”

This is just awesome! This is exactly what I was looking for. Just sad that it is Windows only, but thanks to VMWare this shouldn’t be a big deal.

Thanks for your effort!
Best regards,
Markus
