Very impressed with this component which has some excellent features.



Suggestion:

Could there be a folder selection box in the menu item to specify which folder you want to display.



Many thanks for your hard work Sven.

Excellent!

Exactly what I wanted!

Easy to install, understand, configure!

I tried almost any gallery but this one is by far the best, for my needs.



Congrats and many thanks to the developer!
I give 5 stars because it works, looks fantastic and didn't break anything on a Joomla 2.5 site.



It is not the most intuitive interface, The docs were not clear on how to point to folder. Pointing to a folder in my preferred method for galleries.



I somehow got to a upload popup window (kinda small under the event name - no hover info - it is the little folder icon) and uploaded via the interface.



I clicked the "sync database" button early on and it removed an empty category. I am not sure what that button does and it follows me around at night and scares me now;-)



I can't comment on the "Picasa" aspect, I did not use that feature.



All in all... Stellar work, thank you very much.
Very good and awesome Gallery... Only that you need..

awesome extension

Just what I wanted, very good job and quick support
After installation and some initial tinkering I want to add my thanks to the developer, adding my comments to the other comments, for a beautiful job. Works great out of the box and looks good, too.

I hope the developer will continue improving this extension.

Great Job!

I installed the component easily. I had a small problem with another component, but Sven has been very responsive to solve the problem and offer me a new version. I was looking for a gallery that was not like the other for an artist. I found what I was looking for ! Congratulations

Brilliant!

This looks and works really great!

It could be even better, if it would be possible to upload more then one image in one step. But so far: good work! This extension makes sence, even in this "sea of galeries". Thumbs up!
Owner's reply: You can upload as many images at once as you like. Just use a browser which is capable doing this. Internet Explorer is out of the race but Firefox and Chrome can do it.

You can find a video demonstration this functionality in the manual:
