Images upload but don't show up anywhere, not even thumbnails

    NextGen Gallery 2.0.30 and NextGen PRO 1.0.6.
    Wordpress 3.6.1.

    Since upgrading to 2.0.30, when I upload images to a gallery, the upload page shows the correct number of images uploaded and even shows their filesize. But when I go to Manage Galleries to the actual gallery, there are now several differences from previous version of NextGen Gallery.

    1) Now there is no thumbnail, just a missing image X or ? (depending on browser, happens across all).

    2) There is no filename extension on the thumbnail name, e.g. no “-jpg”.

    3) No filesize shown. Just x. Like this:
    dscn0029

    x pixel

    4) View, edit thumbnail, etc don’t work because the image does not seem to exist.

    5) On actual gallery page, the just-uploaded image shows an X or ? where the thumbnail should be. Click on the X or ?, and get error: “The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later”

    6) An inspection of actual files and folders on the server reveals a brand new directory inside wp-content called “gallery”, and the images I tried uploading are in that. However, this “gallery” folder is NOT the directory my galleries actually reside in. I had specified a custom path on all my galleries, which was working fine before.

    So NextGen Pro/NextGen 2.0.30 is now ignoring the path that is actually specified for galleries, and just uploading images to whatever “gallery” folder it thinks should be default. Which results in the images being not visible anywhere.

    Please fix this asap.

    Found what the problem was! The update to 2.0.30 wiped out my custom gallery path setting in Gallery -> Other Options -> “Where would you like galleries stored?”. My custom path had been erased and replaced with the default wp-options/gallery/ path.

    I changed it back to what it should be, and uploads work perfectly again, and also show up as they should in thumbnails and galleries.
