But in the mobile version it does works correctly.
For some reason, your gallery is loading
http://www.globetrotternet.nl/http://ww ... s/info.jpg ... I am no sure how this has changed since last release, but I have nevertheless added a fix for it next time we update the beta.
If you want to fix it immediately, simply go to your textpage in the admin and change from an absolute path to relative path:

Is there a way to make it work?

First of all, you can add the global header and start header at any sizes you want. On porttrait mode, if they are gonna go from side-to-side, obviously they will take more space vertically also. Scale the image relative to size of menu? I am not quite sure what you mean here ... If we scale the image horizontally, then obviously it will need to scale vertically also, unless you want incorrect aspect on the image (and this you dont want). The only other option, would beto crop it, but that seems a bit silly, loading a large image and cropping it. Personally I dont see a huge problem here ... If you do own an ipad, and are greeted with a nice large intro image that almost spans the entire height of screen, then it looks nice and it is pretty natural to scroll further down to see whats going on ... The only reason why headers on other websites are smaller, is because the entire page is truncated ...
I suggest you just use a slimmer heading perhaps ... I dont see this as a problem, as its an "intro image". If you dont want it, just use a slim global image and skip the start image.

Android? We will follow this, although most important is that it works of course. The framework is JQueryMobile, and transitions may be a bit dodgy.

I am not sure how this is not consistent? Its like that for all images. Besides, it only goes to next image when you touch edge of screen when the navigation arrows are available. It does not go to next image if you just click side of screen ... First the interface needs to be visible. We would also prefer ONLY swipe, but A) Apparently this is not bulletproof on all platforms (keep in mind this is a web page, not an application) and B) Some users simply dont get that "you must swipe to navigate". Therefore, we have buttons also ...
alexhenes wrote:4. Sometimes the screen just goes black. Some examples include...
a. When I swipe to advance the picture. The screen goes black instead of getting next image.
b. When I select a folder. The screen goes black instead of loading the thumbnails.
This I have not experienced, and could not see any samples ... What platform is this?

The url works on a PC.
Deep link urls from an email are very important to me because I email deep links to folders and people click on them from their phones and tabs.
Will look into this ...

It is hard to get the image back to where it should be. Can't move the picture around when it is zoomed. Sometimes it goes to the next image instead of zooming. Sometimes it locks up on an image.
You must be viewing a cached version, because we removed the option to pinch, simply because it is not compatible with the photo swipe setup. If we were making an APP, obviously this pinch and zoom stuff would be simpler. But we are not, and this is javascript trying to emulate swipe on touch screen devices.

This you need to contact Facebook about. We certainly dont call up any French page, so either there is a bug at facebook, or for some reason they think your device, ISP or network is to be shown a French version.
alexhenes wrote:1. In landscape mode the touch on the picture to bring up caption and file name is inconsistent. Sometimes it works and sometimes nothing happens. Have to touch the picture 4-5 times to get the caption to come up.
I tries this and can confirm that it skips clicks here and there on Android, but not that often. We will work with these issues ...
alexhenes wrote:2. Seems to behave better in portrait mode vs. landscape mode. Landscape is most common for tabs... portrait most common for phones.
This is simply because of the nature of the mobile version, that all menus and data list vertically. Technically, there is no different in the interaction between the two orientations. Thanks for feedback!

That's a strange error, seems to be an issue with caching or something, I don't know, but it happens very often on my iPad2. I already cleared the cache of Safari, but it didn't help.
This I have neither experienced or heard of. Is this your own gallery or beta gallery? Do you have a link?
sebster4 wrote:One feature request I do have because I got used to it on the iPad from other tools and apps (e.g. the 500px iPad app):
When you want to leave the full screen view this should not only be possible with the back button (actually you have to press two times, one time to see the button and then one more time to get back to the thumbnails view) but also using the "two fingers technique" to zoom out - would be great if you could add that!
Yea that sounds cool, thanks for the tip. We may have to consider these things later though, because its a but of a headache working with "swipe" in javascript. The 500px iPad app? I assume this is an app, so they have full control over swiping features.
alexhenes wrote:1. Although I have the thumbnail columns set to 3... every now and then I will get 6... with super small thumbnails. Not sure if this is a coincidence or not... but I changed the thumbnail size and the size of the thumbnail area on my Flash site since loading 2.8.
This is because it create double rows of thumbnails on large screens that support it. What platform is this you are using? For example, on iPad it shows 6 rows if default is set to 3. This simply looks better.

alexhenes wrote:3. On the main page the area that I would think represent the toolbar title displays the name of my site... which gets truncated. It would be nice if the main page was consistent with the deeper page and displayed the value of toolbar title here.
It does get truncated if it is too long, yes ... I am not sure how it is not consistent with deeper page viewing. Startpage shows your title, while sub pages shows your folder titles. You prefer it to display something else on the startpage?
