Somehow I doubt it but is it possible to have the gallery start at an imagefolder level either through a URL link or through the config file? In other words, can the imagevue gallery start within a specified imagefolder in thumbnail mode when it is launched?

Hopefully that makes sense. This is not the same as singlelevel but rather would be considered zerolevel.

Thanks for your time.

Yes this is possible.

By URL (example): https://www.photo.gallery/imagevue/?fold ... 20Designs/

Or by config.ini (example):
folder = content/Computer%20Graphics/Nice%20Designs/

Thanks for the reply globetrotter. I'll have to check that out!

Works GREAT!

But I do have one complaint/issue.

Let's see if you can follow. Using the .ini approach. Let's say I have the main config.ini file. The startheading would be defined as "Gallery Samples". The image folders under the content folder would be organized as follows.

Group 1 ------- Sub Group 1
        ------- Sub Group 2

Group 2 ------- Sub Group 1
        ------- Sub Group 2
        ------- Sub Group 3

Through imagevue, the header would initially read "Gallery Samples". If I then navigated to the Sub Group 2 Folder, the heading would then display "Sub Group 2". On mouse over the heading would read something like "Group 1: Sub Group 2".

Using your approach to solve my initial problem works great but I notice that the heading is not as it should be. If I defined a .ini config file to directly open the Sub Group 2 folder the heading would read "Sub Group 2" as expected but on mouse over would read "- : Sub Group 2".

Any way to fix this?

I have seen the problem, it's the same in my gallery.
I have tried a few thing, but no good result.

You can set: startheading = false
So you don't see the wrong header.
