Trip report photo problem

Post by yaktoleft13 »

Hey Bill, I was trying to create a trip report and uploaded 50 photos. Those are showing when i go to the "photo" tab while editing the trip report. However, under the "report text" tab, only 7 photos are showing as uploaded, and if I exit the editor and just view my trip reports, it only lists 7 photos. Any idea what's going on?

I fixed the report.

This has happened before. Something gets flogged in the photo numbering when photos are added, removed, added, etc. in the edit program. The photos are out there but become inaccessible when a the numbering process gets messed up.

I'll try to find the cause this week. If it happens again, just let me know. Thanks!

I had this happen once - it was when I didn't wait for the photos to finish uploading before I tried to go over to the report tab. Just deleted and started over and next time made sure the photos finished uploading before moving over to the report tab.

Now I always wait for all the photos to get uploaded before going to the report tab and I've never had that problem again.

Ah, I didn't see that you deleted the first report and started another. I fixed the wrong one.

Since neither had text, I just removed the later one and un-deleted the first. Should be all set.

It's designed for the uploads and text editing to work in parallel and allow switching between the tabs, so I don't think that's the problem but I will include that in my troubleshooting. Thanks

If you could tell me a bit more (via PM) about the steps you went through each time to have it happen twice, that would be great.
