Error Message in MacImage Gallery

From the time I first opened the MacImage Gallery in my finder, the first item in the folder is: load_error.png As part of my App, the Gallery is working (I have the tabs and the basic setup) but it won't recognize any of my images, either directly by putting them in the xCode files or through a URL. Is the problem most likely this load error? Is there a way to re-install MacImage Gallery? I'm a newbie but have tried a lot of things and am still stuck. Thanks!

The images might be too heavy. Make another image gallery screen with a few images that are less than 100 KB in size. Also, make the dimensions of the images be 640 x 480. Then run the app and navigate to only that new screen. Are you on iOS 6 or 7 or Android 2.x or 4.x? Are you on BuzzTouch.com or self-hosted? If self-hosted, is it BuzzTouch v3? When you clicked on Prepare Project, which link did you use to actually prepare the project for download? -- Niraj

Hi, and thanks for the reply! I will be digging back into this tomorrow, but to clarify, I am using iOS7 on Buzztouch.com. I have tried both links to prepare the project for download, and before there were any images in xCode from me, the MacImage Gallery file, when unzipped in my computer, begins with load_error.png And that is what shows up where any image should be. Is it possible that this is the problem? My images are bigger than 100KB, but not huge - 200-500KB at 640x1136.

Hi! Thank you both so much for getting back to me. After spending the day trying everything I could image, I figured it out! First of all, instead of having my app land first in the MacImage Gallery, I created a home page menu that pointed to the gallery. (Thought that might have been the problem, but no.) As I was creating a list for the gallery, adding one image at a time, I was careful to add the images to the BuzzTouch files, and also to the Images folder in xCode. But there was one more place where I had to add the image. In my list on the BuzzTouch screen page for the Gallery, the image names in the left column defaulted to Image 1, Image 2, Image 3, etc. and in the next column were the file names. Then I realized those Image names were also links, and I had to add the image to that screen as well. After I hit close on that new screen, I hit refresh on the top right of my list of images. Then everything showed up as it should. Not sure if I took the long way around, but I'm happy! Thanks for checking in.

Hi again @EveryDaySpirit. Updated MacImage Gallery plugin is now available for Self Hosted and BT Hosted. Few fixes. The navigation icons used to be included with BT projects and not part of the individual plugins, they are now included in the MacImage Gallery plugin. I know some folk had figured this out but tis all good now! The way the bottom toolbar was being created is also changed now. It used to use the BT_viewUtilities to build the bottom tab bar. There's a new method in the plugin .m file so it no longer depends on the BT_viewUtilities class. It's a wee bit cleaner this way when you want to change how the bottom bar behaves. All good in the hood.
