Gallery Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

or, “How the FAQ do I use the gallery”

Q: What is Detail mode?
A: Detail mode shows you more options that are available on the gallery. There’s not many enabled yet, but I’m poking around and finding useful ones. A drop-down box will appear under each picture and album with the available actions. There may be more actions for a picture than just for an album, so realize what you are clicking on.

Q: How do I turn on Detail mode?
A: Click the link in the bottom right of the gallery that says “Detail”. If it’s not a link, you’re already in it.

Q: How do I turn off Detail mode?
A: Did you seriously need to read the answer to this? Click the link that says “Summary”. If you people really have problems with this, I’ll consider changing it to “Not Detail”.

Q: How do I print a single picture?
A: When in detail mode, for each picture (not album), you’ll see an action in the drop down for printing via PhotoWorks or Shutterfly. I know, that’s pretty sweet. I’ve never tried it, so if for some reason you do, let me know how it works out for you.

Q: Why the hell would I want to print these pictures?
A: A fair question. This is mostly for direct family who want pictures of Leanne and are tired of dealing with Jay’s refusal to acknowledge that pictures can in fact be printed out.

Q: How do I print multiple pictures at a time?
A: Put them in a shopping cart and print that.

Q: How do I add things to a shopping cart?
A: Man you need to be spoon fed. When in detail mode, there will be an action in the drop-down box for adding to the cart.

Q: How do I view my cart?
A: There is a link on the bottom left for viewing your cart.

Q: What can I do with my cart?
A: Items in the cart can be downloaded as one big zip file. You can also send the pictures directly from the site to PhotoWorks or Shutterfly to get them printed, but you already know that part.

Q: How do I download an entire album?
A: If you’ve read the rest of this FAQ, you should know the answer. Add all of the pictures you want to your cart (alternatively, just add an entire album to the cart). View the cart. There is an option on the top right for “Download in Zip”.

Q: Can I download more than just one album at a time?
A: Ohh, you’re getting fancy now. Add everything you want to the cart before clicking “Download in Zip”.

Q: My zip is taking a long time after clicking “Download in Zip”. Is something busted?
A: No, that will happen if you have a lot of stuff in the cart. Be patient.

Q: Anything else I need to know?
A: Yes. Be careful when trying to downloading anything that was chronologically before the Leanne galleries (I think even the early Leanne ones fall into this category). I didn’t bother to shrink down the full sized versions of those galleries, though I’m going back and doing it now. What’s the effect of that? You’ll still get the album, but the pictures are going to be really freaking big. I’m trying to figure out a cleaner solution for handling this.
