Like many I also used the vBulletin basic album system. Today after receiving a nice email from sales I thought I should try vBGallery 2.5 especially since it has an import script.

I don't think it's working as intended. After installation I ran the import script, which took a few minutes to complete and only complained about 6 images not importing. Anyway it imported 1888 member categories and some 13k images. However many of the image titles are messed up and their actual stored location on disk in totally messed up.

It's my understanding the images would be stored in /files/{user_id}... however most are stored in some unexpected locations. For instance:

mysite/gallery/files/8/0/2/5/3/cd2afd3d0a25d4efd5c022791a06cf8a_14384.jpg

the 80253 is actually the userid but I think the correct folder should simply be /80253/. Then there's the whole issue with file names not being processed properly.

Any suggestions to correct these problems?
