for some reason, my uploaded photos in gallery weren’t uploaded correctly: no thumbnails were appearing.  checking my debugging logs yielded the following error message:

Executing: ( "/usr/bin/convert"  "-quality"  "100"  "-size"  "800x800"

Regular Output:
Error Output:

file or directory.
Status: 1 (expected 0)
unlink(~/g2data/tmp/imgk_MWuJOs)

it took some thinking, but i finally realized, it was because i had no /tmp/ directory in my g2data folder!  creating one quickly solved the problem.
