Gallery2 Uploading for Vista

Posted by Jonathan | Filed under Blogging, Gallery, Photos, Software, Technology, Vista, Websites

One of the nice features of Gallery2 is the ability to upload pictures directly to your online gallery from your hard drive by clicking the option publish this in the Explorer sidebar. However, in Vista you loose the publishing option in Explorer. But never fear! Where there is good software, there is a good programmer that finds a way to accomplish the task.

After scouring the gallery forums I found my answer. In the Gallery plugin experimental repository there is a upgrade to the WindowsXP Publish (v1.07) module called Publish XP (v1.07.1). Who knows why they didn’t just call it Windows Publish? After upgrading to the latest version of the module:

  1. Go to Add Items => WindowsXP => and download the registry file specifically labeled for Vista.
  2. After the registry file is successfully added, go into Windows Photo
    Gallery and select the pictures that you want to upload to gallery.

The Inaugural Thought

Posted by Jonathan | Filed under Uncategorized, Websites

November 1, 2007 - Today is the inaugural post, my inaugural thought on ThoughtStook.com. I wanted a place to share my passions and interests with other people. And what better way to share them than to use one of my passions - blogging and websites.

Stook (stûk) refers to a grouping of swathes of grain that are stacked in a circular or rounded patern. ThoughtStook is a grouping of ideas gathered together for the benefit of others. ThoughtStook.com is a place where you can read about my thoughts and those of others regarding technology, websites, blogging, software, politics, culture, comedy, philosophy, religion, worldviews, and books.

Don’t be surprised if you see this site change from time to time. Like I said one of my interests is websites, which includes design and encoding. I will try to post on a regular basis and would encourage you to subscribe and setup a RSS feed to stay up to date.
