Return to index after slideshow finishes?

11 Nov 2007, 22:33

I can't figure out how to return back to the gallery index (image list with thumbnails) after the last image plays in a slideshow. Currently the images just keep looping over and over.

I've looked through the INI files and can't figure this one out.

Thanks in advance.

Isn't there a large CLOSE button located next to every image that displays?

Perhaps you have a link?

Yes, the close button works fine and is adequate for most people. However, I can't tell you how many times I watch people use the slideshow and sit there while the same photos play over and over not realizing that they are in an endless loop.

I have to actually tell them to click the X to return back to the index. So my comment should have been posted as an "enhancement request": which is to simply add a parameter in the INI file to allow the slideshows to finish after the last photo and automatically return to the index (thumbnail) page.

Is this possible in a future revision?

We are currently working with an entirely new release and I presume what you suggest will possible. It is of course an ongoing consideration from our side how to make it as clear as possible for a user how to get "back to thumbnails".

Int he current release, you can set so that when the full size image is clicked, it returns to thumbnails (instead of going to next image).
Code
imageclick = thumbnails
