Yes, well, threats are always in style.

Sorry, I should have been clearer. In the first instance, I was commenting only
on the viewer's interface. And I only
know whatever aspects of that I see when Jim, Phillipe and others link to an
image there. I see the image, in a small
screen friendly format, with a box of the most recent thumbnails to the right.
Often, there is a little double box icon
I can click on to see the original size that was uploaded.
In the second instance, I was talking about the interface for the gallery
users. I have no experience with that on LUG,
since I'm not a LUGite. I assume it's much like other Gallery installations

I don't use the Singapore menu admin if I can avoid it, which is most of the
time. It's not particularly bad, less
clunky and more stable than some others I've used, but still slow and annoying.
To make a gallery, I open FileZilla FTP,
choose a bookmark, add a directory, and drag the images into it. That's all
I've got it set to use XLS files for admin. If I do want to mess with image
order, add comments, etc., I just open the
spreadsheet, make changes and save it.
Singapore has plenty of limitations. Speed and ease of gallery/image management
when bypassing the admin. menus isn't
one of them.
So what you got up your sleeve that's better?
