Hello, I am on zp 1.3.1 and zp-galleriffic theme.
As you know, in zp-galleriffic, there are thumbnails, medium size images (500 pix) displayed in front of the thumbnails, and the full size images come into a lightbox.
I can get the thumbnails displayed but hardly the 500 pixels images. It's loading during hours and the screen remains empty, while the loading symbol keep spinning.
Then I tried to pre-cache the albums. Some of the photos show up, but still, some don't. Why? I verified inside the cache folder, it's strange, some pictures have 2 thumbnails and 2 larger sizes, others have no large size, as if they hadn't been cached at all. Then I disabled Imagick just to see, and the pre-cache is done automatically during the upload. The gallery is fast again. But I really want to use Imagick, the colors are a lot better on the medium resized photos. When Imagick is ON, in order to get the photos displayed after loading new ones, I have to refresh my browser for each photo, then to wait a bit and it comes. But it's not an option. Is there a way to fix this issue? Thank you!

If Imagick is that slow on your server in comparison with the GDlibary you maybe should contact your host.
