Is there any possibility to make gallery generate separate images for the micro-thumbs? Right now it uses the thumbnail picture, and resizes them via html. This means, that if the albums on the gallery main page has many sub-albums, the mainpage gets unneccesarily heavy to load, which, especially those who still have 56k connections, will see as kind of frustrating, as it will take too much time and bandwidth for the page to load.
The mainpage in my gallery (Gallery v1.5.1-RC2-cvs-b14) is about 3MB, which takes a lot of time to load, even if you have a fast connection.

Originally, that is what I wanted to do... but it would involve a lot more code to accomplish. It would also add another set of images to store and build.
There might be a few things you could do easily to help with this. First, turn down the sub-album-ness. Only show little thumbs for the first level of sub-albums. This could save you a fair amount of space. Second, only show 5-6 main albums per page on the main page. Third, I would perhaps reduce the size of my thumbs. This could help a bit. You may also want to double check that your thumbs don't contain any EXIF data. Gallery should strip it, but with all the --option changes for NetPBM and IM, its sometimes snuck through. EXIF data can double or triple the size of a thumb. Fourth, it should be possible (though I don't know how!) to add a "mini-thumbs on/off" drop down option to the page that defaulted to off. Then your users could decide if they wanted to see it.
Of course, if you are trying to cator to 56k users, you should really just simply turn them off. No amount of shrinking the image's file size can make up for the fact that there will still be 20-30+ images to download.

fryfrog, do you have the microthumb navigation for 1.4.4? I dont need it all fancied up, i just need to integrate it; even if I have to configure it manually everytime I have to change it, i dont mind that, do you have it laying around somewhere?
