I had been using Gallery Lite successfully but when I use Gallery it lets me do all the settings but when I press “Process Gallery” I get an alert saying Javascript Error -2741 Expected end of line, etc. but found identifier. Help please!
Paul will have the ultimate say, but I ran into similar trouble when using Applescript to process files in some of my Actions.
Question: The alert is in an small, unfamiliar box; instead of the standard alert with a FW icon, this alert is pretty plain, with just text and no graphic?
I would guess that some of your image filenames have some borderline characters in them. Don’t get me wrong, they are completely kosher for filenames in Finder. However, since a lot of times the Action language must call out to applescript, a completely different environment, things like " (quotes) especially and other symbol-type characters (~!@#$%^&*()) in filenames tend to not translate well when these two languages ‘talk’ with each other. I know I had to add some regex loops to my Action code to ‘fix’ filenames that might break like this.
Until you hear from Paul, I might be worthwhile to at least look at the filenames of the images and see if any of them contain any ‘symbols’. As mentioned, the " (quote), both single or double is probably the main culprit here.
It is not a FW icon in the alert box. I have checked the file names and they seem OK. I have just called them a.jpeg through to h.jpeg (8 files). I re-wrote the names in case I had missed anything but I still get the alert.
Are the images colour or black and white? If they are not using the RGB colour space (ie they are greyscale images or CMYK), there can be some oddness that takes place.
If not, can you send me a couple of the images for me to look at? Thanks.

I haven’t been following this thread but if you renamed the files
manually, could it be a discrepancy between JPEG and JPG?
They were jpg, JPEG and Jpeg which is why I re-titled them all to the same suffix. They are the same photos that had worked perfectly with Gallery Lite (Could it be something I did wrong installing Gallery?). Will email them to you Paul
