I have 70,000 images. I'm not sure I want all these in a single cache directory. What options are there?

If I can split into say 20 separate "albums", can I configure as such and separate this?

Of course, caching is taking rather a long time

none. Right now they are all in one directory.
the only option you have is to use different TWG installation and link them together.
The maximum number I tested was 200.000 images but this was on my windows machine. I don't know how different systems behave.

In 1.7.5 I already refactored that the cache names are build in the same function. Therefore it would be possible to extend the function to create subfolders. I just did not do this because I would have to change my cache cleanup function as well and I did not have the time to do this.
If you don't care about the cleanup the cache with subfolders should be no problem.

This is on my todo list for 1.7.7 .

Thanks. I'll come back to this as I have a bunch of things going on right now with this. Image Magick is old (Red Hat 9 is my os) and doesn't support repage. Latest version won't build so I'm going to upgrade the server hardware and get to Fedora 10. That's also speed up the caching. It does mean that my IP will change - I registered 192.168.1.5 last night - probably to 192.168.1.20.

Once I've done that I'll look at the cache directory. I'd be happy to assist you with that if you need coding assistance.

Anyway, after using webmagick and modifying it for 5 years I'm glad I found TinyWebGallery. It is looking like a superb product. The one thing that would be useful is an offline cache function. It seems like I could just write a script to call image magick to create the photo cache.

offline cache?

sorry. build the cache offline. ie something that can be scheduled through cron.

You can have an offline version of TWG and build the cache there with the backend and copy it to the cache folder or click on create cache in the backend. But then it's done online in the background.
