Thank you muadnem…I know it need some refactoring..i’ll do it asap !
When you upload an image, the original file is stored under the gallery folder..under the thumb folder are stored 2 copies of the original, with 2 different sizes, the first for the gallery list view, and the second for the preview in lightbox style.
In my latest post I wrote an example I used to list some mp3’s files..write me again if you have some
ideas thank you!!

I love this extension! Please keep up the good work. The code does need some refactoring for sure. Also.. some things I noticed were:

storing the original image file twice, once in the gallery index folder and once in the thumbs folder under it. not a big deal.

i love the lightbox but it would be nice if you could bypass the resizing feature. such as

and the way i figured out how to bypass resizing with the item tag was: a more intuitive tag would be

and.. i would love to see you turn this gallery extension into a file repository extension. an extension that lets you upload any file and gives access to them. very much like the gallery extension but for all types of files, like mp3s, pdf’s, exe’s, etc. seems like all you’d have to do is strip the resizing out and you’re 95% done.

keep up the good work!
