Hi my friend!

If you are using the joomla1.5 version of the sig pro
please, rename the images lowercase.

I'm afraid it is a known bug, fixed in the bug free version quiet ready to be published.

Also check out if your server have installed the GD2 graphic library.

Thank you!

Yes, a quick fix to this bug would be greatly appreciated.  I have a gallery of 270+ images, and renaming them is not a good use of my time.

What about special characters like _ or - ?

Edit: I just spent the last 15 minutes checking all the photo names and they're all lower-case or have numbers.  No upper-case, and no special characters.  I still get "Image type cannot be supported".

Edit: I finally found one image that had the extension "JPG", and it works now.  I noticed another thread where a fix for this was promised as far back as March.  I don't know java, but I know other languages where entering a single "change case" line would take care of issues such as this one.  I honestly don't understand how a case-sensitive issue can't be solved in 4 months.  A rush on this fix would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I agree, this one is a no-brainer to fix.  I just purchased the product (which I think has a GREAT start), installed it and ran into this very error out of the box.

Also, the labels don't center according to the thumbnails width.  Might want to do some work on resizing the fonts and/or centering better in the thumbnails.

I have to say this has been extremely frustrating. 3 hours of trying to track down this same error - and it turns out that the plugin crashes if there is a single capital letter in any image file name in the folder.  I now have to sit for another couple of hours renaming all of my images. 

If this has been known for some time why isn't it mentioned in the FAQ or common problems?  I can't believe I'm the only person to ever capitalise a file name.

Hi,

of course iam very disapointed about this Bug.

I bought this Plugin a long time ago and this Thread is open since 4 Weeks, but no fix is anywhere, and the support is not that, what customers (who paid for this product) need.

When you will fix this Problem? I cant believe, that you have done nothing in the last Weeks and Month!

Hi,
I want to support what speakers have said before me. I cannot rename one by one 400 pictures. Please fix this problem as soon as possible and post the solution here. Thank you.

I don't know if this is much help, but here's what I've discovered:

I'm using the single thumbnail method and placing {gallery}name{/gallery} inside table cells so I can control the formatting (since it's impossible to do with SIG Pro).

I found if I place more than 12 galleries on a page, I get the error message.  When I cut down to 12 galleries, everything displays fine.

Also, image size seems to be a big factor.  I've had to resize quite a few files to get the plugin to work properly.  I have no idea what the maximum is, or whether it's a file size (kb) or image size (px) issue.
