Photo Gallery Forums

Hi Karl and Nick.

I found a problem using thumbnails description. Resizing the window, sometimes the description content overlaps the navigation controls on top of the page.

See this screenshot:



Furthermore, it would be nice to have a vertical scrollbar because, in case of long descriptions, some part of the content is lost.

Keep on improving this wonderful tool.

Cheers,
Marco

Because of all the flexibility provided by the imagevue V2 gallery, it is almost impossible for us to make layout conditions based on any combinations. You have full control over descriptions, thumbnails area, maincontrols, and basically all other features.

Personally, I think your gallery description is too long to have in thumbnails view. People may read it once, but then I don't see why it should be globally available after that taking half the space of the screen while the user navigates thumbnails? In any case, I could perhaps create a subtle scroller function for the text itself if it is very big, to avoid it taking too much space, but you will still be responsible that items don't overlay eachother.

Our default config positions the maincontrols at the bottom of the screen, and changing config around won't gurantee a free-flowing layout no matter the circumstance.

Karl I see your point and I agree with you even though I have a "workaround idea".

Would it be possible to display the folder description (with vertical scrollbars !) only when a user accesses the folder from the gallery menu, but not when a user clicks on thumbnails view from the main controls ?
In this case, a "first visit" to the folder would give further textual information, while navigating inside the same folder wouldn't display again the text.

hmm, I will think about your suggestion - thanks
