Updating photo size database

[devenh]

I'm about to take the plunge and upgrade from 1.5 to 2.01.

I do have one question before I start regarding "Updating photo size database." The instructions indicate you do this by picking a dozen or so at a time (" Select photos (better to do this few dozen at a time)").

I have over 30K photos in my galleries, so this would take are REALLY LONG TIME. Am I misunderstanding the instructions? Is there an easier way to do this?

well, you can do it a few at the time to make sure that everything is working as it should and then you can take bigger bites and cross your fingers ;) seriously, though... if smaller batches work fine, larger ones should, too... the things you'd need to watch for are the timelimits that php scripts are allotted for processing... i'm not sure, but you may also have to watch for memory consumption... i don't know if this process caches a lot in memory or not... depending on local circumstances, you may be able to take 1000 at a time... speed and memory are the concerns...
