Thanks for your suggestion. I plan to add additional options for specifying order within an album, and I will consider adding a randomize option.

I don't quite understand your second suggestion. Are you asking for paging ability on the album view, so that a large album is split into a few pages with, say, 100 images on each page? If so, how is that easier than having all the objects on a single page?

Hi Roger,

I agree with Melker's second observation. Most of my albums are small, but I do have a few very big albums (i.e. over 500 images) as I organize my albums by events.

One user complained that my server was too slow but I found that it was because she was in a few of the large albums with hundreds of thumbnails. With smaller albums it was ok. It makes the gallery seem more "snappy" if we can customize the max number of thumbnails to show per "page" of an album.

With my previous gallery software I used to set the maximum of images per "page" (e.g. max 5 columns by 20 rows). Loading a page of 100 thumbnails is a LOT faster than a page of 600 thumbnails. The "page" concepts allows the user to navigate next/previous page or by clicking on the page number to quickly jump to certain page of the album. I have already divided some events (over 2000 photos) into smaller albums of no more than 500 photos but didn't want to further divide them as it would be a distraction to the themes of activities within each event.

Has there been any further activity on adding a paging feature to the galleries? This is a great app, but I do feel that's a feature that's missing for large galleries.
