X3Photo Gallery Forums

Unfortunately, it just doesn't work like this. X3 is folder/page based, and there is no super-function to count images inside all subfolders. First of all, it would simply be wrong if we counted all images inside subfolders and forced it upon the amount of images in the parent folder (which might not contain any images). Furthermore, if we were to add something like this, to the menu, it would require a loop to count all images in each subfolder, and that in an existing loop that loops through all items to create the menu. Also, should it count images inside child-child-folders also at any depth?

We will however be adding "folders_amount" to the menu, but default "amount" will not be set to include all images recursively in subfolders. The "amount" should be reserved for counting the amount of images inside the specific folder. If I click a page item that says "8 images", I would expect that page to show 8 images ... If it shows 3 galleries instead, then what is the point? The sub-galleries themselves can easily show how many images are in each folder.

You mean in the same menu item, you might have both some pages with folders inside and some with images? Yes I guess we could improve the menu a bit, although it will have to wait a bit.
