Duplicates are made in my Media Library

    When I add images to a MaxGallery, I go back to my WP Media Library and see that a duplicate has been made for each image. I’d really like to see a clean Media Library. Must I learn to live with a gigantic Media Library with numerous duplicates?

    I’ve noticed they get a ‘1’ appended to their URL, and yet, when I edit the image from within the MaxGallery manager, I am seeing the original URL, and yet if I delete the images form the Media Library which have the ‘1’ appended to them, then my gallery disappears.

    It’s confusing, and I have so many images I’m working with, that the Media Library is overwhelming with all these duplicates.

    In TekGrl’s case there is an option under Settings->Media, ‘Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders’, that was unchecked and causing MG to not be able recognize that some images were already in the media library because those images were uploaded when this options was checked. For the moment images should either be all in month-year folders or all in the uploads folder. But we will be able to include in a future update a fix that will check in the month-year folders even when this option is turned off.

    Thank you TekGrl.

    Thanks Alan! I really appreciate you checking into this and your detailed response.
