I've only been using Gallery for a few weeks and I love it! I just have one suggestion. I typically have two resolutions saved for every image I have, one is fairly low, suitable for most uses; the other is a high resolution of the same image. It would be really nice if a second click on the image (where the first is clicking on the thumbnail) would optionally take you to the high res version if it exists. Of course, there'd have to be some way of tagging such high res images or some convention defined for recognizing them and relating them automatically to their low res counterparts (e.g. something appended or prepended to the file name).

Even more useful might be the framework to support some user-defined action when you cllick on the image, with one possibility being a new or related image.

Still though, Gallery is the best I've found out there, open source and otherwise.

This has been a standard Gallery feature I think since the very beginning. :smile: When you specify the Auto Resize size in the album properties, any image larger than that gets resized and renamed to name.sized.{jpg|gif|...}. Clicking on the "sized" image brings up the full resolution. So it's already done for you!

Maybe look for something like this in Gallery 2. But it won't happen in Gallery 1.x unless someone writes a lot of extra code.
