I liked the plugin, but you will need to invest some time(maybe a lot) in it if you want to get things going...there are some bugs in the code also, I will not recommend this plugin for people that doesn't know how to code on PHP and Javascript.
I modified this plugin to make it work the way I wanted (and expected from the presentation image)...I appreciate the work from the developer, and I will like to ask for the developer permission to upload the modified and improved version of this plugin...I liked this plugin because of its potential, but I hated the lack of documentation and configuration parameters (I mean images are fixed, can't add line breaks for thumbnails, and a lot of things missing)...I would say, this plugin is still BETA and has potential

If you are looking for something very bare bones, this is it - but be prepared to do some work. The two big work items here are that you have to create all of the thumbnails yourself and that you have to type in the path and filename of each image and each thumbnail. There are no size parameters in the plugin so resizing the display area will need CSS expertise(I'm guessing here - I didn't feel like investing the time to play around with it).
What a time-waster!
Image sizes are fixed and landscape only.
No way to change the sizes in the Joomla plugin, as far as I could see.

Great job. It installs quickly and easily and looks great. The one modification that I made to make it a little easier to use was removed the images from the {phat... tag and instead placed a directory name and optional thumbnail prefix in the tag and modified the code to populate the image and thumbnail list from a glob.
It would be nice to get rid of the separate thumbnail issue altogether through GD, but not relying on GD does make it simple and easy. :)
Thanks again!

Great extension...thanks
Great little extension, just what i was looking for. The only little issues would have to be that it doesn't like mixed picture orientations (e.g. has problems if some pictures are landscape and others are portrait).
It would have to be a killer plugin if it supported captions too.

Finnally a good non-commercial gallery extension. very simplistic display doesnt take over template design!! yaaaa!
but....
you have to manually create your own thumbnails :-( boowho.
Great job anyway keep it going. and oh could you change that whole {phatfusi...bla to something short like {gallery /images....
otherwise i give it 4/5
