Hello to everyone, I've a big problem with my Asustor Nas.
I copied all my pictures on Photo Gallery from my iMac, it work good for me because I use Aiphoto too for upload new pictures directly to the Nas but...I've a SSD disk (250 GB) with ADM system and other 2 10 TB Disk installed to the NAs...I'd like to move the photo gallery main folder from SSD (Volume 1) to one of the other biggest disk.
It's possible?
Or the only solution is to put a biggest SSD disk with the operation System installed?
Thanks!!
SY

Re: Move Photo Gallery Main Folder
You can try to un-install PhotoGallery app first. Then go to ADM web page -> Access Control -> Shared Folders. Change "PhotoGallery" shared folder to the other bigger volume. Then, re-install PhotoGallery app. The trick seems working fine with me.

Re: Move Photo Gallery Main Folder
Can you please also advise on the following? Default folder for pictures is PhotoGallery. If the pictures are in any other folder, they are not visible in the AiFoto app. Unfortunately, all my pics are stored somewhere else, e.g. Multimedia/Pictures ... is it possible to change the main folder to folder in which my pics are stored?

Re: Move Photo Gallery Main Folder
mm... I don't know how to achieve it under ADM web / PhotoGallery UI. However, if you know how to use ssh (or similar tools), you can achieve it by creating a symbolic link.Trevi wrote: Can you please also advise on the following?

Thanks
Code: Select all
# Example
ln -s /volume1/Multimedia/Pictures /volume1/PhotoGallery/Mediamedia_Pictures

Re: Move Photo Gallery Main Folder
Thanks! This looks promising. I am not much familier with SSH, however, I will manage somehow ... I have used PUTTY for some SSH work in the past. I guess it shall do the same job now. So basically I will log-in as admin in PUTTY and will run only this command, is it correct?orion wrote:mm... I don't know how to achieve it under ADM web / PhotoGallery UI.

ThanksAfter done, you may need to disable PhotoGallery, then re-enable it again to see the new folder / album.Code: Select all
# Example ln -s /volume1/Multimedia/Pictures /volume1/PhotoGallery/Mediamedia_Pictures
ln -s /volume1/Multimedia/[folder in which the pics are really stored] /volume1/PhotoGallery/[name of the future folder in PhotoGallery]
Name of the future folder in PhotoGallery folder, should it be created before I run the command? Once done, will I see the symbolic link somewhere in UI?
Thanks a lot!

Re: Move Photo Gallery Main Folder
You should not create "name of the future folder in PhotoGallery". This command will create a symbolic link file there (it will fail if the same name existed on that destination). You can list the content of the directory to see if the command is successful.Trevi wrote: Thanks! This looks promising. I am not much familier with SSH, however, I will manage somehow ...

Re: Move Photo Gallery Main Folder
It looks it works I can see the folder "pictures" in PhotoGallery. However, I do not see any other folders nor pictures. Does it take some time to fetch the pictures? Or is there any issue?orion wrote:You should not create "name of the future folder in PhotoGallery".

Thanks a lot!The symbolic link file won't show under ADM File Explorer. However PhotoGallery should see it (disable PhotoGallery, then re-enable it again).Code: Select all
ls -al /volume1/PhotoGallery

Re: Move Photo Gallery Main Folder
Unfortunately, this way can only show the first level pictures, i.e., under [folder in which the pics are really stored]. It won't show sub-directories and the pictures under sub-directories.

Re: Move Photo Gallery Main Folder
Well, then this solution does not make any sense to me since I believe there is no single person who has got all pictures in one folder .. there is always some structure ... do you think there is better way?orion wrote:Unfortunately, this way can only show the first level pictures, i.e., under [folder in which the pics are really stored].
