Thanks Mick...

I knew the first part about unpacking but not the latter about deleting the edition that already existed.

Matt - yes the script errors still appear but this time it also appeared for me when I tried to resize my logo.

Thanks for all your help Matt.

Greetings,

---nice work!

I wondered if there's a slider to centralize (or maybe align with the bottom) the thumbnails in their locations on the page (rather than aligning with the top).

The problem I'm anticipating is people viewing the file annotation and thinking that it belongs to the thumbnail below when the thumbnail above is in landscape (horizontal)--which makes it much further away from the annotation than the lower thumbnail.

Thanks,

Medoomi,

There are a few options for resolving your concern.

1) Set the Frame color to something different than the background so that it stands out, creating a containing box for the thumbnail and its annotation.

2) Adjust the Thumbnail Padding and annotation Levitation to move the thumbnail down, and reposition the annotation over the thumbnail.

You might find other solutions as well; I think the gallery is flexible enough to handle it as is. If you have any suggestions, though, let me know and I'll do what I can.

TTG Slimbox Gallery 2.01RC3

Andy Rahn at Adobe was kind enough to much around in my gallery on the sliders issue. Not sure exactly what changes were made, but here's the latest version.

Please let me know how things are looking on the errors. This is probably as close as we're going to get with a solution in LR1.3.

thank you for the time you've taken to get this right but I'm sorry to report that the script error still appears.

What's interesting though is that the script error appears every time you use either the slider or by hovering over the number to the right and sliding using that method. It doesn't however appears if you change the size by enter a number manually.

Regards,
Paul

Modify TTG Slimbox H+W independently

hi
i made a sample gallery
http://www.stefpix.com/galleries/littlehaiti5'/
i was wondering if there is a way to define max width and max height independently.

I would like horizontal images to be 7'' pixel wide
but I would like to have vertical images 6'' pixel tall otherwise to see caption would need me to scroll down.

I looked at the xml file tried to modify it but i saw no changes. wonder what parts i'd need to modify and if it is possible.

another question i was wondering if there is a way to show
just one image in the html page not a gallery of thumbnails
and still be able to navigate from one image to the other....
thank
stefano

Stefano,
To set width and height separately, try this.

As for the single image over thumbnails, it's not possible with my Slimbox gallery. You might try some of the other galleries available from my website or from www.LightroomGalleries.com, and see whether any of them is more to your liking.

It should be banned from all computers, regardless of OS!

actually i would a way! i found it on your site -
I generate the gallery -
then after it is done I just re export the same images only to the "bin/images" folder with the max width/height and it works - just replacing the jpgs and no need to modify the CSS!!
here is a sample
stefanogiovannini.com/galleries/littlehaiti5'/
stefanogiovannini.com/

i think the flash galleries are slower and even if a bit more glamorous they have some issues - the slimbox is fast slick and unpretentious! also it seems easier to insert in a website or just add a navbar. anyway congrats for your work! really appreciated!

i feel the slimbox interface is faster/snappier than the mediabox...
wonder if it is only my impression.

So, with releases R1-R3, is there one that seems less problematic than the others, or are they all pretty much the same?
Click to expand...

R3 is _much_ better behaved Matthew. I'm still getting some RTEs, especially on the image size slider but it is more usable than it has ever been on Windows. Once they start, they seem to happen on a lot more controls that didn't error on first or subsequent use.

One side effect of the RTEs is that I lose the mouse cursor occasionally and it won't come back. That's not your gallery though; it's Lightroom not resetting it.

TTG Slimbox Gallery 2.2

TTG Slimbox Gallery 2.2 splits the Image Size slider into separate sliders for Image Width and Image Height. This allows users to specify constraints on both dimensions, with images sizing to whichever dimension they run up against first. TTG Slimbox Gallery is presently the only LR gallery allowing photo width and height to be set separately.

Download TTG Slimbox Gallery 2.2.

Cheers,
Matthew

thanks!

Now it is really great!!

just made a sample gallery

http://stefanogiovannini.com/galleries/vets_cadets/

it it would be possible to just to have a setting to align the gallery to the left or centered that would be some good icing on the cake [ i may like the left align better also it would allow a column of text or something]
but so far it is great

Title fonts?

Thanks Matt! for this and the others.

Playing this morning and found that I could not change the Title font from the Times yuk New Roman serif font. Prefer Helvetica &c ... possible?

The sans serif is available in the body text.

Thanks again. I love this thing. Very clean, elegant no less.

Katherine, You should be able to change the font for the Site Title and Collection Title using the "Titles Font-Families" field under the Appearance panel. Simply enter a CSS-valid string of font names, separated by commas. If a font name is more than one word, you need to wrap it in quotation marks.

By default, I have it set to:

Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif

Times New Roman is ugly, but I put it there mostly as an example of syntax for users to follow.

Cheers,
Matthew

Thanks Matt! I'm afraid that I'm a little wet behind the ears when it comes to CSS. That worked!

You're very generous with these galleries. I appreciate it!
