@Krx. Thanks for taking the time to post your experience. I am sorry that extension doesn’t do all the things you expected it to do. It has provided me with feedback for improvement on later versions. To respond to your comments:
- Explorer View Thumbnails: Thanks for your suggestion of auto-making files for preview
- Modal Type Auto-Select: This should work, since it uses the built-in Bootstrap modal that comes with Joomla. Most times where it doesn’t work is due to jQuery-based javascript errors on the page. If you posted a webpage for me to review, I would be happy to look at it to investigate why it doesn’t work.
- Modal Type MooTools: This should also work without any issue. The size of the images should not matter. I would like to see this in action so I could understand what you are seeing.
- Modal Window Arrows and Name: This is a good suggestion. I never really intended to have the extension double as an image gallery, which is why I didn’t think of having this feature. However, I will consider it for a later release.
- Modifying code: Although my code is relatively easy for follow, editing the code for this extension won’t be easy unless you know what you are doing, and I don’t provide support for edited code, because I don’t know what changed.
- Enlarging Thumbnails: Yeah… it is not an easy task to edit the thumbnail sizes. I will have to try making it more fluid in the future.
- Clickable Thumbnails: This is a good suggestion. I will definitely have that as a feature in a later release.
- Non-ascii Characters: From my experience, the key to getting non-ascii characters to display correctly is almost entirely dependent on the encoding set in your FTP client when you upload the files to your server. I have struggled over this for years, and I have features in the extension that you can tweak, but 99% of the time, you have to force UTF-8 encoding on the FTP client.
Thanks again for your excellent feedback. I really appreciate you taking the time to express your suggestions for improvement on the forum.
