The biggest new feature in pLoader 2.0.3a is the support of tags. Now pLoader can create and add tags to your photos.

Hello Nikola79,

Is there a possibility that something is blocking it

pLoader connects to your Piwigo installation, maybe you have a firewall (Windows embedded firewall) that prevents pLoader to connect (but in my opinion, it should raise a problem when clicking on the "connect" button, not before).

Hi there, just signed up for the forums to post this. Found and installed Piwigo yesterday and loving the possibilities.

To the point, I'm having the same issues as Nikola is having. However, I was able to get it to work...once.

First attempt, error. Second attempt, error.  Both times was told that all images uploaded, but nothing on the site. The third attempt worked like a charm. Since then the connection screen pops up, click the connect button...it just dies. Watched it in the task manager for lack of better ideas. Yep, it's gone.

The only firewall I'm running is the free version of zone alarm. I removed pLoader from the permissions and when I attempted again, I got the popup asking what to do from ZA, as usual. I gave it permission to access the net, of course. Nothing changed. Odd thing I did notice, on the zone alarm program control, there's two instances of pLoader.exe, with different icons. Only one of which actually requested permission to access anything vital but only one instance of pLoader.exe was noticed on the task manager.

Just my two cents. Wonderful program, I hope this hiccup can be worked through.

Oh, and just as Nik, I'm using windows xp as well.

Hi. How difficult would it be to implement a manual roation of images in pLoader? I would really like that feature

Not really difficult. But in my opinion, we have to wonder if it's not an "image manipulation" feature, and this is not the purpose of pLoader. The idea of pLoader is more a "remote administration for Piwigo" than a "Picasa with export for Piwigo feature". As a user, what's your opinion about this?

For Windows Vista users, the path to pLoader cache is : C:\Documents and Settings\<user login>\AppData\Local\.pLoader

Well, decided to give Piwigo a try, as it looks very nice, yet simple enough to not be so bloated like some of the other gallery type packages out there.  But I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get pLoader to connect.

I'm running Vista Home 64bit.  UAC is off.  Application is not firewalled.  Server is local, but neither public or private domain names, IP addresses, nor 'localhost' will connect pLoader to my installation.  I have tried with and without trailing slash, with and without 'http://', and so on.  I have checked and retyped the address, user, and password over and over.  I have created a user and given them permission to upload.  All I get is a dialog box saying: "Piwigo login error.  Connection to http://<snip>/images failed."

Does pLoader use a port other than :80 to connect to Piwigo?  Or maybe a setting somewhere in Piwigo to allow pLoader to connect? (I've combed all admin interface options as well as the conf file, but nothing)

I'm currently setting up a Piwigo server on our intranet to manage our photo library but while testing it out I found a problem, a couple of photos are being read, resized and uploaded fine but no entries are being made in the database to include them in the gallery. This is despite the report coming back saying there are no errors, any ideas what's going wrong?
