I take no responsibility for that awful title. 😉
It’s like you can read minds. I’m traveling to Europe twice this year and was wondering if I should set up galleries in a solution different than Pictorialis for my pics. Seems I just need to install PictorialisII once it’s out.
Mark, if you need any beta testers let me know. I’ve been looking for something to manage photo galleries and this looks like it might be it. My email’s in the comment info.
When viewing thumbnails, the image ordering is not consistent. I viewed the auto show album, clicked a pic, then clicked on the link to take me back to the front page of the auto show album/thumbnails and the images had changed order.
Jeff, thanks for the bug list. I will look into it. I would really appreciate posting of bugs on http://mindfulmusings.net/bb
I would also like to beta test this if you need anymore takers…
Looks good. If you are looking for a beta tester, I’m looking for a new photo gallery on my new site and would love to play with Pictorialis II.
Ben
ready to test your creation.
I definitely want to beta test this, looks to be even better than the first version which I already have installed.
Hi – I am looking to implement a slideshow photo gallery on my website. Does Pictoralis II have the option of slideshow? Thanks!
