Nice good afternoon together :D
First of all sorry for my english. I hope I can describe my problem in a way you can understand.
To the introduction the compulsory data:
- I run a Drupal page with the version 4/6/8
- this version is modified so strongly that an update on 4.7th version would be a lot of work. It works up to the equally described problem by my wishes and, hence, I would like to keep it.
- the picture galleries are appealed. Up to now available in my page are about 2000 pictures plus the additional Thumbnails and precharts.
- the page is not to be seen yet online, it is tested just by me off-line.
I have a special question with regard to the image module or to the image Gallery module. Unfortunately, to me has struck only too late that aforesaid modules drop all pictures in merely one directory after the upload. Besides, they offer no option to select an subdirectorz or to create automatically a new one, as soon as a certain number exists in images.
This is less problematic with small web pages, possibly Blogs or similar. Indeed, this can become a considerable performance problem, as soon as more extensive picture galleries should be put on. If I insert, for instance, 500 pictures in my page, other 500 for Thumbnails and while putting on of preview versions are complementary 500 over again. One is quick with the triple sum in images which one generally has intregiert and if these are dropped all in one folder, this can lead not only at the operation of the page, but also with backups or actions on FTP to problems. Apart from this is anything but clear and structured.
