Ok, I'm a bit slow with implementing the Pangolin changes to my many albums.
Recently, since the last update, I tried to use an older Okapi template that I liked but noticed that my template had changed (I think) with the update.
I had once created large thumbnails as well as photos that appeared large in the single image page, full screen. But when I created a new album with what I thought was my old template, I can't seem to get back to the older larger thumbnail and single image sizes.
I noticed that on a mac laptop the single images of the older and newer templates were the same. But on my Mac desktop, the single image in full screen is smaller with the newer album template. I've tried to change the size of the single images, but to no avail.
Older album thumbnail page: http://coyotepixel.net/galleries/coast-12-16/
Latest album thumbnail page: http://coyotepixel.net/galleries/swale-canyon/
I also notice that on the galleries page, the thumbnails for a few albums are smaller than the older previous template albums. Whatever I do to increase the thumbnail sizes and single image size for the Okapi template, which I really like, has no effect.
Of course, I didn't write down the settings for the older Okapi album template so I don't know if I am missing something.
I'd like to recreate the larger thumbnails and single images in full screen mode. I'm working off of my 24 inch desktop. Does that make a difference?
I seem to be missing something.... The space between thumbnails is larger. How do I change that and will it make a difference in thumbnail sizes?

Have you republished the images after making your changes?
When republishing, first check the Lightroom Publisher Settings to make sure that the “Push metadata without updating existing photos” box isn’t checked.

Since the thumbnail sizes are different between the two albums, I'd guess that larger thumbnails in the newer album will fill the space.

That seemed to do it, Rod, for the thumbnails. I did not have "Push Metadata..." checked but didn't have "Publish Thumbnails..." checked.
But when I go full screen on the single image, I can't get the larger image that I like on desktop.

I have changed the single image size in Backlight login. Album Settings/Image settings/Photos. 2048px. No change to single image size.
Is there another box that I need to check in Publisher edit?
Thanks.

If you’ve republished images since making the changes then you can also try clearing template and browser cache.

I have changed the single image size in Backlight login. Album Settings/Image settings/Photos. 2048px. No change to single image size.
The first image is 1520px wide.
The second image is 960px wide.
If they're using the same album template, then it looks like you need to republish images in the second album. (assuming the template is set to 1520 px wide large images)

I have tried all those things... clear template, mark for republish, etc. Everything else works... thumbnail size change, presentation type change, etc.
Except that when I change Image Settings/Photo Size settings nothing changes on my site. I can change to larger or smaller photo size, save changes, clear template cache, assign template to album, mark for publish, publish and no change to single image size on website.
Were there some changes to Okapi page settings in one of the last updates that might have affected this? Or, am I missing some other setting?

You can try uploading the latest Okapi modules.
Link at the bottom of this doc: http://backlight.theturninggate.net/doc … _backlight
Can you double check your Publisher Settings in Lightroom to make sure that neither the “Push metadata...” or the “Publish thumbnails...” are checked.

It's as if the Photo size slider isn't working.

have you tried creating a new album template and using that?

Well, I did uncheck all in the Publisher Settings and that seemed to work in getting the photo size to change.
Thanks!
Time to Pangolin all the albums.
