double thumbnail

[pazer]

i am trying to add some image.
it create me the thumbnails and its work ok

but, if i'm try to to add the same image, it create me from it the same image thumbnail.
on the frontend i see the 2 thumbnails which links to the same image url.

how can i prevent from the program to create me the same thumbnail if the image is already added?

Hi,

if you add the same image once again, then you'll see 2 images in the gallery. On the server there is only 1 set of thumbs.

ofcourse but i dont want it to create 2 images from 1.

this is the real problem:
i have a dynamic gallery that contain 1000 images with 1000 thumbnails and its ok on the frontend.
now, i want to add another 20 images but to find them on the "multi add" it frustrating because its to find just 20 images from 1020, so what i want to do is to select all the images and press on "add" button/
so, the new images is insert to the database and a new thumbnails are creating but its also create a new database\thumbnails to the other 1000 images so on the frontend i will see 2020 images overall and ofcourse i dont want it to be like that.

i hope you understand me.

Hi,

yes I do,

The best solution to solve this is to have the folder name (with the images on the server) the same as the category name.

Then in multiple add you tick the folder and press 'add'. Right now a category will be created and all the images in that category. If you add images later and tick the folder again and press add, then only the new images will be added.
