Steven, it has been two months since the last post. That is a rather long time. Is there still no solution found? Is there any chance the developers will find one within the near future? Have a nice day!

Re: Thumbnail script uses too much memory (10 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
The way around the problem as you describe it, is not what I had in mind when I bought Showkase Pro. Hope you understand this is not satisfying at all. As my provider granted me 128 MB there is some delay before the problem is there again. Surely hope the developers can come up with a solution shortly.....

Re: Thumbnail script uses too much memory (10 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
Some information from my webhosting provider regarding the problem.
The basis of this is in the difference between the various ' resources ' that my package can use, and in particular the difference between "memory", or working memory, and disk usage, or storage space.
My unlimited package means I have unlimited disk usage. This means that I can save as many photos, Web pages, databases, or other data as I want without limit. However my package has no unlimited working memory. Working memory is the memory that my package can use to compute operations, such as running a PHP script. This allows PHP, and the hosting package up there, a limit, to ensure that a single user on their server can cause no nuisance to other users in using all the memory.
A single script in PHP can claim up to 96 MB working memory. The problem in this case is that the script needs more than 96 MB, and therefore gives an error. To them this is not surprising, because the dynamic modification of image adjustment (making thumbnails) often takes much memory.
To solve this they suggest I myself should create the thumbnails in advance before attempting to upload within the application. In this way, the limit is not reached, and I will get no error more. I informed them that this is not possible with the Showkase application (as far as I know). That's one of the charms of Showkase, taking work out of my hands ;>)
Hope this will help you!

Topic: Thumbnail script uses too much memory (10 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
Enjoy the possibilities of Showkase since over a year. It is a joy. This week unfortunately problems occurred while uploading new pictures to my website. Caused by the thumbnail script that used more than the maximum of 96 MB. My provider was very friendly and for me they raised the max to 128 MB. Because of their "shared hosting" they cannot go beyond that.
The provider suggested I could reduce the pictures first, before I upload them to the site, but that will often be at the expense of quality. In addition, also that approach will eventually (after uploading more photos) result in exceeding the maximum memory for the thumbnail.php script lead.
I don't know what this file thumbnail.php script does exactly, on which it is based, etc. Therefore, I have no idea how I can affect this. It can't be the size of thumbs; I see at least no large files in the appropriate folder. Maybe this script works continuously for all thumbnails? Or can it be set to only use memory at the time of requesting thumbs it is active?
Until today I used the Showkase Pro version 1.0.2. After I got this problem with the thumbnail script I found out there is a version 1.3.2, which is now installed.
Appreciate your help!

Thank you very much. imageScaleMode was set to "None". Setting it to "Scale" indeed did the job.
Have a nice day!

Topic: Full screen expand (2 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
Just started to make a website on photography. On the Showkase Site Demo's there is an example of the Kosel theme called Acqua Photo. When the button "Expand Gallery" is used, it expands the photo to full screen.
In my case the gallery expands to full screen, but the photo itself doesn't. Maybe because the photo's are resized when importing. If I uncheck the resize option when uploading, the photo is only partly to be seen.
Where do I make the mistake??
Thanks in advance
