A good plugin killed by new management

    I was very happy with the pre-Photocrati NextGEN. Then, I made a huge mistake trying to upgrade. I perfectly understand that things cannot be frozen, and there must be some development all the time.
    However, something very wrong happened in this specific case. I really hope that the native WP media manager will not need any plugins like this one.
    Removed from my Favorites.

    Again, it WAS A VERY GOOD PLUGIN years ago. I remember only one bug in thumbnail editor, which I was able to fix with just one line of code. All the rest was working perfectly. Still work on some of my sites, where I did not upgrade.

    @gregory Karpinsky – What was the issue that had you thinking it was a “huge mistake” upgrading to the current NextGEN Gallery? If it’s something we can address we would like the opportunity.

    Please feel free to submit a Bug Report (http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/report-bug/ … please reference this review) and we will try to help you get it sorted out.

    Thanks!

    – Cais.

    Hello Cais,

    Imagine a site using all big pictures, all thumbnails, slideshows, etc. – all with NextGEN, and then you click “upgrade” and suddenly all thumbnails are displayed as full-size, and when you try to fix it, you notice that all now completely different, and if you try to edit a post, all attached media become irreversibly corrupted?

    Would you just smile and fill in a bug report? Or would you restore from backup and never try to upgrade again?

    There could be tons of reasons for a new release to be incompatible. Could be changes in the WP core that you try to chase, or new features, or old bugs… I just do not have time to find out. Keeping old working version.
