I have it installed, and it works fine.
Thanks again,

I have just uploaded version 3 of the PhotoCollection plugin jar. The
significant changes are in three areas:
1. Multiple image file types are now supported via either the plugin
invocation, or across the entire photo collection. I have updated the
description on the wiki to describe this feature. (I have scanned some
prints and documents as png files and didn't want to convert them to jpegs).
2. I found several quirks in the way friendly page titles were generated
and have improved the algorithm.
3. While working on point 2, I found several situations where the
algorithm that generated the associated wiki page name lost information
about the file path that would have helped the friendly page title
logic. Reluctantly, I decided to make a non-backward-compatible change.
In many cases existing wiki pages will be named exactly as before, but
it is possible for existing pages to "apparently" disappear!
The types of paths that will map differently are:
File path --------original wikiname -------- new wikiname
abcd/2xyz Abcd2xyz Abcd_2xyz
abc3/2xyz Abc32xyz Abc3_2xyz
abcD/2xyz AbcD2xyz AbcD_2xyz
abcD/Wxyz AbcDWxyz AbcD_Wxyz
If (when) you implement the new jar, please check your wiki to see
whether any pages that previously existed are no longer found. You only
need to manually rename the "old" page and it will magically reappear.
Here is the procedure:
1. do a wiki search for the page under its original name using an
appropriate wildcard, e.g. 2010*.
2. follow the search hit to display the original page.
3. click on the "info" tab of the page.
4. update the page name with underscores, e.g. preceding a file path
element that starts with a digit, or following one with a trailing
uppercase character).
5. click the rename button.
6. Refresh the page representing the higher level collection and the
link should change to successfully locate the renamed page.
Sorry for any inconvenience. I think you will find your page titles look
much nicer and it would be better to convert before you create too many
pages! Don't forget to make a backup before you start work!

Brian
