Integrated slideshow and back to thumbnails...

My gallery is currently configured to first show menu, then once an item is selected you get all the thumbnails. When clicking a thumbnail it goes into the integrated slideshow module to show a larger scaled down version of the picture. However here is a problem. Is it possible to configure that a click on the image or back button sends me back to the thumbnails? Since now users have to reload the entire page to get back to the thumbnails... And I dont really want any flying buttons lying around on the screen, only the large pic and perhaps a back button, or even better, a click on the image and you are back.
Thanks in advance.

Normally there is a close button at the top of the picture, so you go back to the thumbnails.
Do you have a link to your site, so we see what's wrong.

I did notice now that if you set "showmaincontrols = true" to false it will disappear, but if set to true it does come up. However I don't want the other controls with it. If i change "maincontrols = select,download" (my default) to "maincontrols = " (without any options) then the X will stay, but I will also get a blue dot in the right bottom corner... How do I get rid of it?
The link to the config file is

I also found one other bug which I can't explain... If you pick the gallery above and then click the Blueprints>Akira you will notice that 5 thumbnails are generated. However it locks up on the 6th and it will never continue. Controls work however, so I can select the next page or browse. If you click on the stalled thumbnail it will show the fullsize image in the slideshow view. So for some reason it can't thumb it, but it can read it anyway... I have noticed this in a lot of thumbnails... And the JPEG itself isn't broken in any way (got this error on a lot of jpegs i created in Photoshop and other applications, and the faulty jpeg:s seem random).
Thanks for all help!

I have a work-around for your problem. Set:
showmaincontrols = true
maincontrols =
maincontrolsalign = BR
maincontrolsmargin = 0
controlsdimensionx = 1
controlsdimensiony = 1
The square in the right bottom corner will be very small (a dot), and it's almost invisible.

Thanks! I sure can't see the dot, so it's perfect. A bit lame solution, but it works. Excellent!

If you want to close the current image, and return to thumbnails when clicking the image, try the following setting in slideshowimagevueconfig.ini:
imageclick = closeslideshow
