 * Thanks a lot for spending time on my question. I really appreciate it.
 * This is indeed interesting. I think that it did not cause a problem with older
   wppa+ and wp versions.
 * It sounds like that there is no way around uploading the pictures again.
 * I also investigated a bit further. I am not sure to understand your max integer
   argument, but let me explain why I use the number code first. It is a combination
   of year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds. In older versions of wppa+ it was
   not possible to access the exif time stamps. As I have pictures from different
   cameras with different naming schemes, I renamed my pictures based on the time
   stamp to sort them by name (and therefore by time).
 * About which integer length are you talking? A 32bit integer is much shorter anyway.
   For instance, I have a picture with name 20130608163629.JPG, which is displayed
   without problem. The picture before that one with 20130608163335.JPG is not displayed.
   If an integer would overflow, which can cause nasty problem (I know that from
   my work), I would expect that pictures up to a certain integer would work and
   that pictures starting from the rollover would not work. However, I do not see
   this behavior.
 * It also appears that the pictures with the long ids do not have a corresponding
   picture in the data base. Therefore, I will not be able to delete them easily.
   For instance, aforementioned 20130608163629.JPG refers to [http://phil.chillsofa.de/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/wppa/8343.jpg](http://phil.chillsofa.de/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/wppa/8343.jpg),
   but all the pictures in the following do not have a picture in the data base 
   until picture 8344.jpg. In principle many pictures should have appeared in between.
 * I also see that the long ids appear to be truncated in the “Missing thumbnail
   image #20130608164” statement. This number should be followed by three more numbers.
 * I agree that something strange is going with long filenames ONLY containing numbers.
   For other albums I chose to make the filename something like 20130608163629_foto.
   JPG, which does not cause any problems. I will follow this strategy from now 
   on.
 * What is the Tweak Option plugin supposed to do in my case?
 * Thanks a lot again.

 * Thanks a lot for your message. In the meantime, I finished running lost & found
   which took ~2days and then regenerated the thumbnails again. I also checked IV-
   A18. Unfortunately, I still do not see the images. This is a link to my albums:
 * [http://phil.chillsofa.de/wordpress/?wppa-occur=2&wppa-cover=0&page_id=1448&wppa-album=90](http://phil.chillsofa.de/wordpress/?wppa-occur=2&wppa-cover=0&page_id=1448&wppa-album=90)
 * I am not running a multisite installation and added “define( ‘WPPA_MULTISITE_GLOBAL’,
   true );” to my wp-config.php.
 * I appreciate your help.

 * I would also be interested to use the EXIF time stamp. Is that too hard/too much
   overhead to extract the EXIF time? A step in the right direction could be to 
   use the file time stamp. Those are synchronized with the EXIF time stamp in my
   case.
    Using the upload order makes little sense to me and I guess probably also
   to most other users. I am facing a situation where I have photos from various
   cameras all with different numbering schemes, but with the correct time stamps(
   EXIF times, file modification/creation time). Would be really great to use the
   actual time stamp.
 * Thanks in advance,
    Philip

 * Thanks for your answer. I will try your suggestion with the parent albums during
   the next days. I am not sure if this will solve the problem. It is equally slow
   if I point only at one album entry in my blog posts: [http://phil.chillsofa.de/wordpress/?p=1830](http://phil.chillsofa.de/wordpress/?p=1830).
   I also turned debugging on and reinitialized the plugin. Unfortunately I don’t
   have control over cleaning up the cache of the server.
 * Thanks,
    Phil
