I have been using the Web Album Generator for 18 months or so now and am very impressed by the results and the ease of use of the product. I use the product for any holiday or IT conference I attend and also family albums of photos to share with those who live a good distance away. As such, my suggestions are really 'nice to haves' as I have found the product to be very robust and clean. Here are my suggestions which I think are minor code changes:
a) To enable the user to enter up to 5 links say, for the current home option, e.g. 'HOME | CONTACT | ABOUT | PARIS | LISBON'. This would enable me to link to other albums as well as my home or contact page etc. This would probably be quite a simple enhancement(?). Currently I edit the index.html pages for this.
b) It would be useful for those who have contributed financially to have access to a version which allows a blanket change of the advertising to their own choice of link. I use search and replace for this currently. I appreciate that this maybe slightly contentious.
c) It would be nice to have a link for album 'first' and 'last' photos for fast navigation purposes.
d) User defined custom size of image up to the current resolution.
e) Automatic titles using numbers (from 1) rather than the default file name if the user has not specified a title.
f) Optional <TITLE> tag field for each generated HTML page title for each image rather than the default file name, e.g. 'Cambodia - Siem Reap - Temples' rather than 'IMG_0833'..... The user could select a check box if the file name should be appended to the user given title or just ommitted.
The above are just suggestions for quick additions to make good enhancements. As you can see, I have no problem with overall look and feel which is clean and precisely what is required. They all fall into the 'nice-to-have' category.
Keep up the good work
Cheers
MARK.
