What if its too long?

Hi there, I'm still trying to find a way to get an startpage with thumbs images linked to each folder gallery.
Considering that I have about 150 galleries is the textpage adapt to solve this issue? I mean, I would get a very long page so I would need to "break" it in sequencial pages in order to show all folder thumbs and I'm wondering if it's possible.
Can someone give me any advice?

Well, a textpage shouldn't have any problems displaying all your thumbnails. But were you thinking of adding 150 thumbnails manually to the textpage? Sounds like a lot of work ... although it would be possible.

Sorry, but it seems like you are trying to simulate a feature which simply isn't integrated into the gallery. It has been requested, so I hope we can add a "folder-thumbnails" feature into a new release.

Hi Karl, thanks for your reply.
Yes, I know what I'm trying to do isn't integrated yet, but I still have to find the better way to "simulate" it as you said. The matter is that it's a gallery of models and there's no point for clients to choose the models by name on a text menu, they need to see their faces! That's why the need to build an index page with thumbnails that would bring to the model's folder-composit.
I'm out of more ideas to do it for now... Hope you can soon apply this feature to imagevue!
thank you!

I think there are several visitors who have had this approach, and I think there is a good solution:

Create your "index" page separate from the Imagevue X2 application. For example, you create your own page in HTML which has small preview images of each model. Clicking any of the links, may go to the gallery with something like "gallery/#/content/julia/". You can then disable the main menu from within the gallery, although you may consider keeping it also as "quicklinks".

Of course, this method is not streamlined, and you have to build it manually, but its a viable option until we can provide something better.

Thanks again Karl!
This could be a valid alternative that I'm evaluating.
Another one could be making a link to the composit/folder in the discription of thumbnails on start folder. How do I point a streamed line link on the foto discription?

You can add links in descriptions like this:
Code
<a href="#/content/julia/">LINK TEXT</a>
Clicking the LINK TEXT, would navigate to the folder content/julia/
