Some comments on V2

First, I would like to thank you for the great job you've done on the V2.

I really think imagevue is the BEST flash template !!!!

I have some comments to do :

You can find my v2 here :
http://www.michelrajkovic.fr/v2/

1/ when you arrive on the v2, I think it's a little sad, there's nothing to welcome the visitor. There's just the menu and nothing more :-(

I really would like to display just one pic (like V1 with photoblinds) or maybe a slideshow (whitout control like here http://www.michelrajkovic.fr/)

2/I take off the main controls so now I can't toggle full screen :-(
Is it possible to add the "toggle full screen" on the right side of the audio part at the top of the screen. So it would be ALWAYS visible (in thumbnail view AND in image view)

3/Is is possible to separate the config of the maincontrols

- one config for the thumbnails view
and one for the image view

Many thanks

Thanks for your feedback -

#1 - You can expect some new feature coming here soon with a basic startimage option. You are aware that you can set your gallery to start on your imagefolder "Portfolio/nowhere/" right? goto admin -> config -> settings.startpath ...

#2 - Sorry, we can't simply be making buttons available anywhere or everywhere. That would be a development nightmare. Why not keep only the fullscreen button?

#3 - Can you tell me what controls you want in thumbnails, and which you want in image mode?

Thank you Karl

#1 - great for this new features (yes I know for the startpath)

#2 - because I take off the maincontrols so now the visitor can't toogle fullscreen :-( (you can try yourself http://www.michelrajkovic.fr/v2/ )
So I just would like this function.

It can be :

- in the menu
- in image buttons
- or elsewhere on the screen (I think near Audio it's a good idea) (so it would be ALWAYS visible in thumbnails view and image view). I know that i'm not the first to ask that. It would be really great

#3 - Actually when you arrive on my site, if you put the mouse on the left or right you'll see the left or right arrow but there's no thumbnails to view because I choose to dont use startpath... I would be great to separate controls for thumbnails and for image. So people can choose the controls they want in thumbnails view and other controls in image view.

Keep up the good work :-)

#2 You can in fact enable the fullscreen button in imagebuttons. Do this:

Open the file imagevue/include/config.xml, and locate the node image.imagebuttons.buttons. Locate the options attribute, and you will see:
Code
options="imageinfo,window,etc..."
Add 'togglefullscreen' to the list of item, so you have:
Code
options="imageinfo,window,...,togglefullscreen"
Save and upload, then goto your admin -> theme, and assign the togglefullscreen button. I will have this setting by default as an option in next release.

Hi, do you mind sharing the .fla and .swf-button file that you make?

If possible made in a icon-way (non-text for all non-english users).

Thank you!

Not sure I understand the question - The SWF is the "imagevue V2 gallery"... And what doy uo mean by "icon-way"? All texts can be translated into other languages ...
