Album type change not working

Hello

I've changed the Album type for all my Church albums, see the one for Altarnun below:

https://www.piktour.uk/galleries/churches/altarnun/

They were using Galleria and I've changed to Justified.....but now the album is showing BOTH sets! The ones with the Titles are from the Justified set and the others are the older Galleria ones.

I've cleared Browser cache & Template cache and I've re-uploaded all the photo's but they will not show properly.

What have I missed?

Re: Album type change not working

this happened after simply changing templates?

how are uploading? Lightroom Publisher or Backlight Publisher?

Re: Album type change not working

If you're publishing with Lightroom, did you have "create virtual copies" checked? Because the large, correct looking thumbnails all have _v1 appended to the file name.
There's a checkbox to "Make new virtual copies" in the Create Album dialog in Lightroom Publisher.

the "stretched" thumbnails were published at 200px x 200px. The _v1 virtual copy versions (the normal looking ones) were published at 400px x 400px.

My guess is that when you republished, Lightroom republished the original images, not the virtual copies it had made for the first album. So now you have two versions of each image in the album.
Are both versions included in the  album in Lightroom? If so, delete the one you don't need. I'd delete the original and keep the virtual copies because those larger thumbnails look better with your Justified layout.

If you don't see both versions in Lightroom, you can delete from Backlight Publisher.

Re: Album type change not working

Hello Rod

1) Yes all I did was change Template.

2) No virtual copies created in Lightroom, no _v1 after my copies here.

3) Where is the Create Virtual Copies checkbox anyway, I can't even find it?

4) I only have one set of photo's in Backlight Publisher so not sure how I can delete them from there.

Re: Album type change not working

when you create a new album in Lightroom, near the top if that dialog box are checkbox options to (going from memory): Include Selected Images, Make Collection the Target Collection, and Create Virtual Copies.

in Lightroom, when you create virtual copies the file name is appended with _v1. That’s the clue that makes me think the Virtual Copies box was checked upon the initial creation of the album.

Re: Album type change not working

It's a mess at the moment.

I'm now resigned to deleting all those Albums and recreating them again.

I've done the Altarnun one and it's fine now.....well nearly.....there's another slight issue which I'll raise another post for.

Thanks.
