While I think its a great extension a photographer wanting to show his images doesn't get an opportunity to show the complete image on its own.

Nice great gimmick

but not more. You have to spend to much time to see all the pics and without any broaband connection its almost impossible. And witch surfer got time????I think its more to show your pics to your friends at home, not for online use.

Embed Slideshow in Page

I would like to be able to choose to display the slideshow in a popup window (as in the demo) or in a DIV on the main page. It would also be cool to be able to optionally display text captions with the photos.

Thank you all!

Thank you all for the feedback! It is very valuable to us. About the sneak preview, note that:

the images are loaded at the beginning so that causes a delay. In the final version we will have images being loaded during the transitions so loading time will decrease
as this is a flash slideshow you can embed it everywhere you need - in a popup or page
this is a "sit back and relax" slideshow - if you need more power to the user in the photo selections you should better use the Flash Album Generator

Accessibility

Will there be some way of incorprating text (something like subtitles) so that slidehows with narration can also have text displayed. When will this extension be avaiable? I am very interested in its possbilities as a great way to present time-lapse information (such as housing construction, etc.). I'm already planning presentations based on this introductory sample. Great job! thanks.

Love it!

We are having more and more clients who are adding the sit back and watch slide shows to their sites. It is a great way for them to share with their customers without having to put iPix or movies in place.

I know we will have clients that will LOVE the enhanced viewing ability of this slideshow. In the past we have simply used the xml called fade in and fade out. If this has the ability to use an xml back-end to it so we can allow them to create custom slide shows on the fly - that will be awesome!

Thanks!
