Hello,

I urgently need a separate handler for portrait pictures. It should work with the resize option within Juicebox-Builder Pro.
For now in mostly all portrait pictures the heads are a little bit chopped off. The new feature should treat the pictures as follows: i.e. 1920*1080 for landscape and it should set the height to 1080 with a width accordingly to the original format for the portrait size. That should be made switchable within the software. Yes it can be made by hand, but if you have to work with a very high number of galleries, each with pictures in the several hundreds and lower K´s that does not improve your workflow by viewing each gallery and separating the pictures by hand.

Second. I like to have the choice for having three or even four different picture sizes. The users should be capable of switching it by themselves. There are such a large variety of connection speeds out there. Within Juicebox-Builder Pro it should be possible to set the different sizes. Remember, the difference from dial-up to highspeed 50Mbit and higher is really great.

Third. All Path settings should be made within Juicebox-Builder Pro. Please separate them in that software and bring them to a new tab. It should be possible to choose for each setting for a relative or an absolute path. It cannot be that a absolute path for the back button (on iPhones) is needed to function proper.

Fourth. A switch for keeping or loosing exif information if you resize your pictures.

Fifth. Applause. For the new feature of putting two or more galleries on one page (that was requested and build into in a very short time)

Best regards

Hello,
@Steven

that sounds great. I have read that, but thought it not to go, because I do not open a new browser window for the gallery. If that is the case and would apply for the iPhone special page, that would be great. I think I have to replace all the jbcore directories for an upgrade.

Thank you for that outstanding service!

Best regards

Hello wspollack,

thank you for your kindly sharing your script. It´s supposed to be a cool timesaver :-)

best regards

Request : Alternative thumbnails.

The thumbnails in JBox could be more elegant and more functional.

I find the text underneath them ugly, from a design perspective and complex from a language perspective.

The text is a poor solution.  There is no need.  It should be very simple to explain to a site's visitor that there are thumbnails and to enable those to be navigated without the need for clicking and navigating pages of thumbnails.  Elegant scrolling thumbnails are more easily understood by the visitor, especially in light of todays 'touch' UIs (every shipping Mac and iOS device).

What I would really like are thumbnails which are visible when the page is loaded, then auto-hide after 2 or 3 seconds.  This makes it clear that there are thumbnails.  They will reappear whenever the scroller is moused-over, which explains to the visitor very simple and quickly, how to navigate and how many images there are.  What could be simpler?

Of course they don't have to auto-hide, but for those of us who care about images/photography it is ideal that those images should be displayed on a clean, uncluttered page.

These demo scroller thumbnails below have been produced without Flash and therefore should be a breeze for the JBox programmers to replicate.  :)  Here's hoping that you can make the experience of image viewing even more 'pure'. :)

Hello,

again one more request. I want to have a switch within the user´s interface (in the gallery in the actual html page), so that he/she can make a decision what resolution of the pictures shall be displayed (high, medium, low). Of course I want to make that switch switchable :-)

And second, I want to have a switch/variable that upon the Drupal Organic Groups memberships ( Drupal OG ) certain features and rights are autoswitching within the group (decision for download original size, decision for non-watermark pictures, decision for use with music etc.)

Best regards

Here's a simple tweak that I think would greatly improve navigation:

Have the mouse pointer turn into a small forward or backward arrow when it hovers over the image (depending on if it's over the left or right side).

This would make it clear that clicking the image is the easiest form of navigation, without  superimposing fixed arrows on it.

I keep the overlay arrows turned off because they wreck the image, unless the window happens to be wide enough to let the arrows sit in the margins. This is not often if the image size is large.

Most of the people I've watched use the gallery do not figure out that they can click the image ... they use the thumbnails, which is clunkier.

Request :

Screen Mode - 'Small' style thumbnails to be a user configurable option for desktop view (Screen Mode - 'Large')

OK Steven, understood.

What I would specifically like is to have a block of thumbnails (as in Small-Screen Mode) but for the rest of the page to be configurable as per Large-Screen mode.  For example, in Small-Screen Mode, the caption cannot be positioned directly underneath the image and vertical images are not padded in that they fill the iFrame from top to bottom.

This request is related to my previous request for scrolling, auto-hide thumbnails in that I'm trying to find the most elegant solution.  I have found that people hardly use the thumbnails in Large-Screen Mode, probably because they're awkward to use.  They tend to just look at the first column or two.  I do like the block of thumbnails in Small-Screen Mode and find it visually interesting.  It would be good if it supported gestures on desktop computers too for scrolling between pages of thumbnails.  It would also be good to be able to dictate the number of thumbnails per page in Small-Screen Mode.

My goal is to have my images displayed in as uncluttered a way as possible, whilst at the same time offering obvious, simple and elegant navigation.  JBox thumbs aren't giving me this in Large-Screen mode in the way they are currently offered.  I confess to being fussy. :)

it would be nice to have the hashtag url's be configurable.

so instead of getting site.com/#1 , site.com/#2 etc.
if can be site.com/#name-of-some-picture

perhaps the hashtag url can be set in the xml config file.

Please provide separate configuration options for the thumbdot colors. Using the NavButton colors results in either an unusable or ugly color scheme when using a white or light background.

Since this breaks standard behavior from previous releases, I consider this a bugfix and not a feature request.
