New Image Gallery/Image Sampler: Comments
Hi David,
1) With the new Image gallery component, am I correct in thinking that the Remote URLs are not embedded in the ghx local images are?
2) Could you combine the two components together, i.e. have some kind of link so that the image sampler is sampling the current gallery image. This would be very useful when analysing a series of images.
3) If item 2 is possible would you be able to add some controls to the component (typical stuff: First, Previous, Play/Pause, Next, Last.)
4) When you are dragging multiple images to the canvas could it open a gallery component similar to the image sampler with a single image?
5) If the tick box for Remote URLs is unticked could the Local images tab be the default?
6) If you drag images to the URLs could the editor add the filepath and names to the URL list?
That is all for now....

1) True, I store both a list of urls and a list of png images inside the ghx.
2+3) eh... I need to think about this. I fail to see how it would be anything but annoying to have the image sampler switch images while you're in the middle of something, but having a list of target images and some [prev] [next] buttons on the sampler might be useful.
4) Sure, I can change that. But what if the sampler also supports multiple images, should it just create one of those then?
5) Yup, makes sense.
6) So you want an image gallery that can handle embedded images, online images and image files on your system? It's not difficult, just making sure.
