How can I get GLoSS to pull resized images from my Gallery instead of fullsize ones?
A helpful GLoSS user, Bob Bristow, passes along the following information about one way to configure your Gallery to serve you resized images instead of the originals (the Gallery Remote Protocol that GLoSS uses doesn’t appear to natively allow GLoSS to request resized images, hence this workaround): • Make a new user and group in Gallery; e.g. create a group called “resized” and add the new user to it. • Change the permissions on all your albums as follows. • Add the “resized” group to all of your albums. • Add the “view items” permission and the “view resized items” for the “resized” group. • Remove the “everybody” group permission called “view all items”. • Re-add the “view items” permission and the “view resized items” for the “resized” group.Now GLoSS should only pull the largest resized image instead of the original. Note: I haven’t tried this myself, so can’t personally guarantee success, although Bob assures me it means GLoSS is working well on his Gallery of over 20,000 2-4MB
