A fantastic component. Solid, fast, flexible, great admin features. The true beauty of this component is discovered when you start to play with the templates and tweak them to create a completely original front end look and feel. Developers are consistently moving forward, adding features, fixing bugs. I have used RSgallery2 on many sites.

I tied fruitlessly to cook up an offline dev environment. It was a pain in the posterior. JSAS worked out of the box instantly. After setup, one Joomla build is ready to go and you can add lots more. I had a hard time finding the admin password for the initial JSAS installation. The admin password is "admin"

This is a total snap to install, and use, and looks great.

Questions/Issues...
I get an error on each page that reads "Notice: Undefined offset: 15 in .../plugin_jw_sig.php on line 59." How can I make that go away?

I have image sizes and aspect ratios that are not uniform. Sometimes the thumbnail does not fit in the shadow box for which it is intended (additional white space shows up between the right edge of thumbnail and the shadow box). I get better results when I resixe the original image to an even multiple of the target thumbnail width. Is there a better solution?

If a thumbnail is shorter (vertically) than the one next to it, S.I.G. drops in another thumbnail below it in the same row. Great idea, but a problem can/does show up because this is a progessive feature. At the end of a row (on the right), the stack can grow up to 3-5 thumbnails high with TONS of white space left under the first thumbnails on the left.

Perhaps a solution would be to track the height of the tallest individual thumbnail in the row, and double up below short thumbnails only if there is room for it (without increasing the min row height required for the tallest individual thumbnail).

Great work. Wish I was a programmer so I could help out.
