Re: [help-GIFT] a few gift usage questions and minor errors

[ChaosMedia > WebDev]

hi,

well don't give too much attention to the errors i've described, it 
seems my debian install is not so good.
The configure script fails to detect that perl can be embeded.  I'm not 
sure why and i don't know if that kind of external perl use introduces 
problems afterwards..

Anyways if anyone has an idea on how to solve the Debian/embeded perl 
issue please let me know..

I would also like to know if there's a limitation for the local picture 
path length that can be stored/used by gift..
Indeed i went back to the debian GIFT package (0.1.13) to make some 
further tests and i saw a few errors on some pictures i was trying to 
add to a collection. The errors had the mention "too long" with the 
local path being displayed.
Unfortunately i didn't copy the exact error at the time and i haven't 
been able to reproduce it so far.. As soon as i get them again i'll post 
them here too..

But well i must say that my collection tree is quite extensive so it may 
produce errors if there's a limitation on picture paths..
