Now I just have to figure out how much to charge for it ;)

cool. one suggestion/request. It'd be nice to be able to have a option to view a gallery as one long page with all the photos full-size along with captions & descriptions. That's what's stopped me from using any of the dynamic albums. They all use the thumbnail list, click for single full-size image design. A full list could be a nice option, could be spec'd in the xml file, (whether to use list/page or thumbnail-list/img-per-page format) and you could even add xml to spec whether individual images were right, left, center aligned and where the descriptions appear (top, left, right, below.) Does your app have an admin backend yet? Does it generate true thumbnails or do you have to do them manually?

Damn you're full of questions ;). Here are the options that are currently available: Const thumbFolder = "thumbs" Const FullSizeFolder = "fullsize" Const AllowedExtensions = "jpg,gif,png" Const numCols = 4 Const numRows = 4 Const useFileNames = False The useFileNames allows you to use the image name in paging. The rest are pretty self explanatory. I'll try to post more in a main post once I get more details hacked out. As far as backend stuff goes, I have a manager page to add the descriptions and such to the XML files, but I haven't added upload capabilities yet. I'm considering using PureASP to build something similar to my image manager. The latest add-on pack allows you to create thumbnails automagically as well. We'll see what happens though ;)

Couldn't Jeff assign the full-size image value to the thumbFolder variable, set the numCols to 1, the numRows to 1,000,000 (Just to have a really high maximum) then go into the file and remove the open window code? :-) See it is customizable ;-)

All things are possible of course :)

Sorry if I went over my quota of questions. ;-) Since I can't (yet) see the code, I was curious... and thought I'd see if giving you some ideas now while you're still developing might help get a few favorites in there... As far as customizing, well, sure I could customize it once it's out, or write my own from scratch... but if you can add features *now* then they'll be there for everyone to use easily and it'll give you more selling points.... See, I have only *your* best interests at heart ;-)

No reason to apologize :). I'll be incorporating a couple of your idears ;)
