Great job on release the V2, congratulations!
I'd like to make a couple of feature requests in regards to the FileMod:Slideshow.
1. Possible to create a "margins" setting as in other images for the site? Or it could simply inherit the "margin" setting under the config-image-image area.
2. I see you can adjust the timing of the slideshow timing (interval=6), but I find the transition from photograph to photograph too quick. A slower, easier transition would be most welcome.
Thanks again for a great product!

Thanks for your suggestions -
#1 - I am a little reluctant regarding your #1 request. The slideshow filemod was meant to be a small standalone feature. There is a LOT of code involved to get images to resize and reposition based on image size vs. stage size. And if we do that, some users are gonna want certain controls available, and who knows what more ...
What I think though, is that you should be using the native slideshow for this. In a future release, we will be adding some checkbox toggles from the admin, so you can set a specific folder to "start in imagemode", "autoplay" and "no controls" (etc.). This means you will be using the standard gallery slideshow, simply set up to look like you want it. I think we will just keep the slideshow filemod small, and I suggest you creates images at reasonable size.
#2 - I'm sure that can be arranged ...
