OK I think I know what's going on. I fiddled with the media source and system settings and figured out that Gallery is concatenating both the Media Source (
assets/files/gallery) and the gallery.files_path setting (
assets/files/gallery) and uploading my files into:
/assets/files/gallery/assets/files/gallery/
I'm wondering what would happen if I should empty one of those settings.
Update (a working solution):
- Empty both the gallery.files_path and gallery.files_url system settings.
- Create a new File System (not Gallery Albums) Media Source that points to your desired folder.
- Set the gallery.mediaSource setting to use the above Media Source.
Now, files will upload to their correct location, and extraneous Album records will not be created in the DB.
