Files Tab

The target folder is where all files generated by Arles will be saved. The contents of this folder is what needs to be published to your server.

Arles never overwrites original image files, which is why you cannot modify images if the source folder is the same as the target folder. The following Target folder types are available:

Subfolder	All generated files will be put in a subfolder of the source folder. For example, if you specified "arles_gallery" as subfolder and your images are in "C:\Images", the generated files will be saved in "C:\Images\arles_gallery\".
Same as source folder	Arles will save all generated files in the same folder as the original images. With this setting your original images will get mixed with files generated by Arles. This often makes things more difficult to organize, which is why we don't recommend this setting.
Other	All gallery files will be put in the defined target folder.

You can select to recreate all thumbnails and images or to only create them for new and modified images.

Ask me

A dialog asking for overwrite confirmation will be shown every time thumbnails are created or images are modified.

Overwrite all

Recreates all thumbnails and generated images. You have to use Overwrite all if you changed any thumbnail or image option, like thumbnail width or the image border style.

New and modified only

Creates thumbnails and images for new or modified images only. Use this option if you did not change any settings for your gallery, but just want to add new images.

This option is faster than Overwrite all, but keep in mind that you have to use Overwrite all if you changed any thumbnail or image options. If you don't do so you won't see the changes.

Select to create a subcategories section at the top of your index page which will link to subfolders containing images. Subcategories are only created if you use the multi-folder processing tool.
