I think it would be more intuitive for the user if the site menu opened and they could actually see that the current folder is selected and they could chose to navigate to other folders that are close in proximity without having to manually scroll all the way to the top/bottom.

Not sure I agree 100%. Lots of mobile websites, instead of having a menu, add a dropdown list instead. The page the visitor is currently on would be highlighted in the list. The same goes for our menu. No the "+" has nothing to do with the folder, neither the startpage title ... It does however indicate a menu, or at least tell the user "try click here for some navigation". Especially since the button itself currently tells the curent location, then if you click it, it does not come as a surprise that you can actually change the location from a menu system. Taking into consideration that a mobile phone has a small screen, it is all about compromises. We do not want two bars of UI at the top on the mobile version ... Perhaps you are on an Android with a relatively large screen.

I can imagine and have seen it on large menus before. However, I am just skeptical about not starting a menu from the top after its clicked ... I would find it a bit confusing. Let us consider this, but just keep in mind that no matter what, this menu will just not be 100 optimal for large folder structures. Its still worth having of course, especially since it is unobtrusive.

Thank you

You are right. The main factor here, is that the "link" function for the flash gallery was never intended to be used like this for internal links. So it works fine, with flash. However, it becomes increasingly difficult when the different platforms use different link formats.

In your case, it seems the best solution is to hide thumbnails with links, since you already have them listed with thumbnails in the view above. Any objections?

New Beta released a bit later today, and this will be automatic for the people.

I will need link and login for your admin to check this.

The only info I found was from the time of the 2.5-version (https://www.photo.gallery/documentation/upgrade-imagevue/) and when I follow these instructions some things get lost in the upgrade, like PowerPack and apparently some settings (see my post above). So how is the easy/best/right way to do an upgrade?

Powerpack I am not sure about, but for Imagevue it is like this:

Just drag and upload ALL files from the unpacked released version, overwriting all your existing content, EXCEPT "content" (your files, folders and descriptions, and "iv-config" (any custom configurations you have made).

We are hoping this is something that we can launch as final version shortly.
