Linkage: Berit Sømme. Love, love this site. Superb illos.
Thinking of moving on from K2 and Gallery. Well, Gallery at any rate.. can’t be bothered with having to update / remember what I hacked to make it work / tiddling with the themes. It’s all starting to be too much like hard work. Almost decided to go with Simple Viewer.. but I can’t get the page to embed without an iframe and then there’s too many gaps.
Bah.
Suggestions welcome. As long as they’re not rude. 😉

could try Flash Image Gallery
similiar to simpleviewer
I’m thinking along the same lines as you, and ditching Gallery. I’ve never gotten it to integrate well. Not that I have a lot to share anyways, but here’s another project you might look at: Lightbox JS.
Nice little javascript app that keeps the viewer within your page. Pretty slick as well.

They both look interesting, though I’m not entirely down with the way the Flash Image Gallery scrolls the image around the place within the frame.
Lightbox looks pretty damn groovy. I like the idea of it opening up on the same page as the thumbnails like that. I’ve been hunting for an Ajax solution for the last couple of days. What would really make my day is if you can hav the pop-up open the image at the right dimensions. That’d be really damn sweet, and probably worth the aggravation of not being able to just ‘send to web’ with the Gallery ‘XP publish’ module.
I swear, Gallery (not so much the plugin, but the app itself) is a pain in the ass.
Cheers, guys. 😀
Oh the irony. I’m currently re-intsalling the whole farking thing again. None of the other options ever seem to suit.
Ho hum!
