Hi,
I have recently started to use MGM and I uploaded a series of scanned photos to Zenfolio without any issues.
I then decided to allow MGM to manage my "My Pictures" folder by synchronising that folder on my PC under the All Photos group at Zenfolio.
My ISP imposes usage allowances but overnight uploads do not count toward that so I set MGM off uploading "My Pictures" overnight and then in the morning I cancelled the remaining uploads so as not to eat into my usage limit.
The following evening I did the same again expecting MGM to pick up where it left off as I assumed it would not re-upload any photos that were already uploaded to Zenfolio.
Much to my surprise not only did MGM start to re-upload the same photos as the night before but it also created duplicate Zenfolio groups to put them in.
Is this the expected behaviour?
If a group already existed at Zenfolio I would have expected MGM to use it and if a photo with the same file name existed in that group I would expect it to treat it as a duplicate and not upload it again but it is certainly not working like that.
You like using Media Gallery Manager? You think it's easy to use and saves you time in uploading, downloading images and organizing your online galleries? Consider rewarding my time and
