I really like the update with the left and right arrow keys. Any change you can include mouse movement in the next version? In fact, can you just make a version that works exactly like my sports gallery below? A local designer crafted it so I can’t update it. Sure would make a nice LR web gallery…

Just a test site - I really don’t understand why there is a select and an add/remove button - I don’t see images removed from the queue (I thought you could narrow down your choices through add/remove and then finally select your choices) that doesn’t seem to be it. What is really going on with these two buttons?
Does reset just go back to image 1 or does it reset your choices?
Played with this for several hours without figuring it out. If I can’t figure it out perhaps it needs to become more obvious, or perhaps provide a small area for instructions.
I also don’t get resizing in my browser and portrait sizes get cut off at the bottom and need to be scrolled
Nice work though and when upgraded would be a choice of mine
Many thanks for your work!

Pretty good but I have some requests before I can use this with a client.
a) When someone adds a comment, it needs to also select the image. Presently a user can spend time entering text and have it simply vanish when they submit. Alternatively, submit all comments regardless of the “selected status” and/or make the “selection” optional, i.e. there’s no checkbox if its disabled via your Web gallery config panel.
b) I set an image size of 1024px and the gallery displays correctly only when I resize the browser, it’s as if it doesn’t get the size right until then.
c) There needs to be clearer navigation hotspots, presently a wide image needs the user to use the keyboard or carefully click the edge of the next image.
d) The slideshow ‘play/pause/stop’ controls should be on display the entire time. The speed can be a flyout as presently.
e) It’s not clear, visually, if the slideshow is running until the image automatically changes.
f) I would make the ‘reset’ optional to prevent a user accident.
g) I would use cookies or similar to counteract a user accidentally hitting refresh and loosing all there comments.
Otherwise I like it a lot and can’t wait to see the next version and replace my current Web template for ad-hoc image review.
