Jeffrey,
I just wanted to say thank you! I also just pulled the RemakeMediaFileProperties exe off the FTP site, ran it, and it worked beautifully on the 2,000ish records where we were missing pixel dims.
Note that if you save the exe and add it as a plug-in to TMS, you don't have to run it across all of your records. You can run it off the current selection just as you can the Thumbnailer. At least I was able to do this with TMS 2012; not sure about with other versions.

Sounds good to me! I am becoming more and more reliant on medialoader, so any additions/improvements (like adding a field for Media Status too) would be amazing!

It's a downloadable .exe that runs (and runs...and runs...and runs) on your local machine.
With medialoader central to our workflow now, I'm hoping Gallery will see fit to really make from it a productive suite of tools that take care of all these things at once, and let you select which records to run them against.

Subject: Re: Media Loader and List View bug?
Perfect, thanks!! Just ran it, and now up to date!
One of those things you may not need all the time, but when it's not there, it's a pain. And I don't usually find I have to go into that section of dbconfig all that often, so didn't even know it existed.
I did notice the issue with the metadata-type info not being loaded. I've been going around that by going into the Media Record when I have time and just clicking the "..." on Filename, and when it opens the new window to Open the file, I click Enter and it fills in. Not ideal, but if I'm in the record to fill in Media Status anyway, I usually do it.
Tool to update this would be handy though - before I get in touch with Dimitry, is this something runs on the server side? Or more of plug-in I can run as SysAdmin on actual TMS? (I don't have access to my server, so wouldn't bother if I have to have our outsourced IT do it.) If I can do it, I'll get in touch with Dimitry.
Thanks so much for the Update Media Counts!
D.

We ran into this. There's a DB Maintenance thing you can run called "Update Media Counts." You have to do this periodically if you use media loader.
Also, importantly: unless you're typing them in manually (doubtful), media loader can't calculate the pixel height and width, so that is missing in TMS as well, which will prevent images from appearing in certain GS-designed data views. Contact Dimitry Vessensky of GS support about this - on Gallery's FTP site you can download a tool that will reread all the stored files and update their information. However, it runs against ALL your images - so mine took about 2 days to run! Didn't fail though - all the image files got a thorough update.

Subject: Media Loader and List View bug?
Hello all -
Just found a little bug/problem today, and curious if anyone else has had this issue. I've been using the MediaLoader plug-in more and more, and love it.
I did notice however, when looking at the List View from the Object Module, that in the Media column a zero is listed even for records that have at least one image. It appears to be all records that had images linked using the Media Loader. I'm not necessarily looking for a solution to the problem (unless someone has one of course!), just curious if anyone else has this issue. (I'm on 2010 btw.)
Thanks!
Diane.
