[opencms-dev] Picture Gallery Export Trouble (v5.0 CVS 25/11/2002)

[Dimitri Bougoulias]

Hello everybody,

I'm experimenting with the current CVS version of v5.0 (default branch -
checked out 25 November 2002)

My Environment:

Server:
SuSE Linux 8.1 
SUN j2se 1.4.1 (build 1.4.1_01-b01)
tomcat 4.1.12

Client:
Windows XP Proffessional Edition with Service Pack1 (IE
6.0.2800.1106.xpsp1)

In order to isolate the problem I performed fresh OpenCMS install with
default options.

Steps:
1. Login Admin
2. Offline project -> Administration View -> Picture Galleries -> create
new: eeae_common (owned by the Administrators  group)
3. Publish -> OK
4. Upload zip with a few  gifs and jpegs
5. Publish again

Message:
publishing...
/system/galleries/pics/eeae_common/arrow3.gif
/system/galeries/pics/..........

Modal Dialog: 
Error
A Runtime Error has occured
Do you wish to Debug?

Line 47 
Error: Object Expected


In /var/tomcat4/webapps/opencms/export/pics/eeae_common/ all pics are
there but truncated to ZERO length!!!

I have tried that repeatedly with different number of pictures and
galleries - even fresh installations.
It occurred in all cases!

Thanks in advance,
