Buttons in plain-gallery

Current behavior

Is it possible to have buttons on the gallery images? I.e. having buttons (either in a corner of the image or only available with mouse over) on the images in the gallery, without having to open it first?

Expected behavior

Show the buttons before opening the image.

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions

Just a question, not sure is needed.

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

In case of large galleries sometimes it could be useful to perform some actions (like delete or download) on many images. Having the buttons on the gallery will speed it up.

This is not part of the library but it's interesting. It could be a feature for next releases, to improve plain gallery.

At the moment, you can use custom plain galleries to add buttons and create your own style for the plain gallery (see example P8 - (id=207), under section "plain gallery", on my stackblitz example). However, to add logic to your buttons you have to implement it by yourself (if you want you can check the source code of the library to see how I download or delete images).

is the above feature added for version 10.0.0 or it is still in progress

Hi @cmschandan, no it isn't implemented yet. I'm open to Pull Request, if someone want to work on this. But this is a very specific request and it should be designed in the right way to be useful in a library (not so easy).

However, you can implement this by yourself based on your specific requirements, because you can trigger modal-gallery via angular service and write your custom plain gallery component. Obviously, adding a feature like this, it will require some work, because you have to manage all by yourself. If you only need a button to delete an image, it's quite easy to implement, but other things can be challenging.
