Hi!

very, very, I miss SigPlus unit who could display a gallery as a tree.

Is there a chance for its creation? This module is a completely new exciting 
opportunities for SigPlus.

Or navigate on the basis of the current system of icons and navigation SigPlus 
but including directories.

Tree view and category displays are features reminiscent of an image gallery 
management extension whereas sigplus is, in most part, an image gallery 
extension (without management capabilities). The major difference is that image 
gallery management extensions have categorization of their own (e.g. set up in 
the back-end) and these categories can be presented in various formats. 
sigplus, on the other hand, has no concept of image category, categories are 
implicit (a source folder is a category). For this reason, sigplus is not aware 
of the "big picture" (the global organization of image categories for the 
entire site), which has certain drawbacks but has the main advantage that you 
do not have to set up or maintain categories at all: just type the folder name 
and sigplus does the rest. Image gallery management extensions do not allow 
this level of simplicity: you cannot use them without setting up categories in 
one way or another.

In addition, sigplus is currently distributed as a plug-in and a module, both 
of which have limitations regarding the complexity of the layout they can 
produce. Joomla components, on the other hand, have complete freedom of layout 
as they are first-class citizens in the Joomla world: they rank the same level 
as Joomla articles. In contrast, plug-ins are placed in articles (i.e. they are 
encapsulated in articles) and modules are placed in template positions. The 
main advantage of content plug-ins and modules as compared to heavyweight 
components is flexibility: they can appear in many positions where a regular 
components would not be allowed.

I understand and appreciate the great advantage and unique feature of SigPlus.

But I am really missing a simple way to browse the directory structure.

Create a gallery with dynamically changing directories with a distinction 
between directories is not practical in the current issue. On the one hand 
SigPlus gives great kick in the archives work with dynamic images, on the other 
hand raises the problem of updating the code for each change or add a new 
folder in the tree gallery. I would add that just is not good to create 
galleries of all the images in subdirectories, pictures are too much.

Yet I found this extension as "Simple File Lister" offers a simple browse the 
directory structure, but does not give such possibilities as sigplus for photos.

Will it be a module with a view of the directory tree or a proposed grid 
thumbnails above with labeled folders are now less important.

I am missing something that could work, but use of the opportunities SigPlus 
with the gallery to navigate directories.

Manage gallery via FTP or other tools is a very good feature SigPlus.

Manage gallery via FTP or other tools is a very good feature SigPlus. Dynamic 
creation of gallery resources on the server, the option of filtering using 
wildcards, simple to describe images, EXIF data, a simple and elegant view 
thumbnail and slideshow is a great and irreplaceable SigPlus an advantage.

I do not know how to deal with the donation category you can browse the gallery 
as a file directory on the server.

I do not know how well we understand each other. There is no need to create and 
manage categories from sigplus. Just to sig plus possible to browse directories 
as separate Galleria. It may be, for example by means of breadcrumbs in the 
presentation view the gallery when the gallery has a variable parameter for 
this gallery "Include subfolders".

A simple way to individually view each level of subdirectories. Not a whole 
gallery of all images in subdirectories, but a separate display for the 
currently selected directory for example, the apparent path of breadcrumbs.

at the beginning of something like this ...

categories sometimes change quickly and it is difficult in all articles update 
the gallery with a new name or add a new directory or remove the paths that no 
longer exists.

Ew another idea that will orient the sub-structure, but retaining the ability 
to view each gallery subdirectory in a separate presentation.

Reagrds!

This feature request revolves around the idea that images are categorized into 
a hierarchical structure. True, the file system is such a hierarchical 
structure; sigplus could, in principle, visualize directories with special 
"representative" images, clicking on which would "open" the directory. Whenever 
a gallery is displayed, it would be a mix of "representative" images and 
regular images, the latter of which would behave normally (as specified in the 
respective labels file). Breadcrumbs could then be used as a means of 
navigation between levels in the hierarchy. All the above, however, goes very 
far beyond how sigplus works at the moment. sigplus has no explicit categories, 
a sigplus source is a directory (or a directory hierarchy when the parameter 
"depth" is used). (This is unlike how Phoca Gallery works, for instance, which 
has explicit categories you must configure in the back-end before you could use 
Phoca. You have to do a lot of work before you actually get to see something. 
On the contrary, you get almost immediate results with sigplus: all you have to 
do is inject an activation tag into an article or content item.)

Becoming an image gallery management extension has never been an objective for 
sigplus. sigplus has always focused on simplicity, displaying a gallery from a 
single source, without any special notion of how sets of images depend on each 
other. This might make it more difficult to maintain large inter-dependent 
hierarchies of images but offers ease of use to the casual user. The trade-off 
between simplicity and feature-richness has always been towards simplicity as 
far as sigplus is concerned.
