Thank you for this nice plugin, it implements a very nice feature!

When sorting an album with a quantity of about 1000, opening the album prompts that it is an empty album. However, you can still see 1000 items in the album cover. When trying to add a new image to an album, only the newly added image is displayed.
Tested several newly created albums with the same situation

UPDATE: The web site still doesn't show the content, but logging into the Android client does.

Does this extention still work?

I have used the sort album with great pleasure for years,, but now it doesn't work any more.

First error was because my sort app had manifest 2, but then I changed to current which has manifest 3.

Now it gives the following errors:

1. Google photo sorter by name says: No response from content.js
2. Retrying will give following error: Photos google com says: SyntaxError: Unterminated string in JSON at position 371 (line 1 column 372)

I sincerely hope I can get some help, as I use sorter by changing filenames in Lightroom when I have arranged the photos in "story order", which then can be redone in Google photos by using the gphotos_sort-master

When I click on the icon and then click on "sort by name" it displays "sorting..." forever.
Please fix....
Thanks!

TypeError: Cannot read property '21' of undefined

Not used this tool for a while, but tried today. I keep getting this error:
Is this no longer working?

Thanks

Thank you very much

So it worked fine 2 days ago, but now when I click a button it just hangs on "Sorting..." loop.
I specifically reinstalled the plugin, rebooted PC, and created a small test album with just a few photos.
Looking forward to an update about that

I am getting the same error as addressed in Issue #8.

#8

After pressing the Sort by Name button I see this:

The icon at the top continues to spin and the progress bar remains frozen.

The following error is shown:

Version 0.11
Chrome Version 79.0.3945.117 (Official Build) (64-bit)
MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6

It was working fine until today and started getting this error message upon clicking sort.

SyntaxError: Unterminated string in JSON at position 371 (line 1 column 372)

Can you please help ?
Thanks in Advance.

please fix it
Thank you.

Hey, everything seams to almost work, aside from the Icon and GPhotos sort option are gray. When are you able to click on them?

The progress reaches 56% and then returns the following error:

photos.google.com says
request error
undefined

I only have this issue with one of my albums, so I'm wondering what the album's issue might be?

Hello,
Thank you for this nice plugin, that google does not want to implement since 2011.

An annoying issue is that I can only see 300 photos after sorting with the extension, while my album contains 433 photos.
In the albums list page, it still indicates 433 elements, but when I open the album I can only see the first 300.
There is no error when sorting.

Is there any easy way to fix this ?

When I try to load the extension I get an error in the manifest.json file: "Line 7 Column 1 Unexpected token".

And figuring out what's wrong is way above my pay grade ;)

Thanks!

Your software is extremely useful. Thanks for it. I got "TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading '21')" message. After trying everything, I think I solved the the problem. Just go to "edit album" and make google photos sort photos. That is it. Now you can continue to use extension without a problem. I hope this information helps. Thanks again...

Getting this error, reloaded page, new tab, still persists.

Has worked fine before. Other albums also work.

Have added the photos to a new album and it suddenly does work. Might still be worth looking into.

I made an album with just 10 photos and when I click on the icon and then click on "sort by name" it displays "sorting..." forever.
I used this extension before many times and it was OK. In the previous version I noticed a problem in JS and therefore downloaded the new one but now I don't have access to JS and can't show where the problem is.
Please help. Thanks

Is there a way to list the files in numeric order rather than text order? For example, currently files are listed like:
11.jpg
110.jpg
5.jpg
88.jpg

Can the sort order be changed to list numerically to this:
5.jpg
11.jpg
88.jpg
110.jpg

Thanks!

hello.

i've installed the extension. but the icon isn't showing up. so not able to use it.
this is Chrome on Fedora 33. i've attached photo. thanks.

When I click the button I get what you can see in link below instead of what you write in the guide.https://photos.google.com/u/1/album/AF1QipORavhgXFDeMVx1X-cUwIbnRBCiUK7iNcEKw5cB/photo/AF1QipNDovDppGIrIkuLyUBCjYqQZwQpTSVFyDOidMdx

Used to work a couple of months ago.

Please help ASAP as without this extension it's very difficult to manage a large number of photos in the album

Tried several times using 2 different internet connections and it always get stuck at some photo (not the same one).
Several days ago it worked fine
Please help
Thanks,

Robi
P.S. I attach the JS callstack

I love this add-on, and it has single-handedly saved me untold grief, but it seems to consistently fail on large albums. It looks like the break-point is ~500 images? I've gotten around this by breaking things up into smaller albums, but it would help me a great deal if the cap could be increased to 1000.

The extension does sort the images in the Google Photo Album.

It has started to generate this error. Its repeated 15 times.

In Blogger's editor you can insert images from several sources.

When you choose "From Google album Archive" you apparently navigate to a archived version of the Google Photos folder instead of the actual Google Photos folder you justed sorted. The photos in folder you access from Blogger's editor are not sorted, yet if you navigate to the actual archive folder in your browser the images are sorted.

https://get.google.com/albumarchive/

For albums with greater than 550 pictures, only the first 550 get sorted. Is this a rest limitation? For my album of ~2500 pictures, 543 pictures get sorted.

Hello, today I received an error when sorting an album. Says:

Could you please help ?

Thanks,

Sorted an album of 1200 photos without any issue. Much appreciated. That's all. Feel free to close this issue.

It always worked, but now stopped. Anyway to fix?

Just tried with a couple of albums; the icon does not appear in the toolbar. I followed the instructions carefully.

Google is ending unlimited storage next year.

This is really going to mean leaving Google for me. I upload images to Google Photos in ablums so that they can easily be found for later insertion into Blogger posts. This I'll have to insert them into Blogger articles so that they are storage within Blogger's own backup archive which is not currently included in the limit. I'll then need to delete the images form Google Photos. This means later editing Blogger posts will be a nightmare as you'll be forced to manually search for the images within Blogger's backup archive within a large vertically scrollig grid versus simply going to a named folder.

I wasn't sure how to leave a message so I'll open and close a issue as a message.
