Yes, definitely want this add-on. In this day and age, this will make Simple Lightbox above all the rest of the lightbox plugins. A sudden jump in downloads for Simple Lightbox will definitely happen with this add-on added.

I did see one lightbox plugin on Code Canyon (premium), not as great as Simple Lightbox, but it integrated Add-To-Any Share plugin. I didn't get it though as Simple Lightbox still served my purposes better.

I even have the plugin Social Gallery which looks great, like a Facebook image display with sharing options. However, this fails when viewing through mobile phones/ipads/etc. in that it cannot properly handle changing of image size bigger or smaller using "pinching" of the screen, unlike Simple Lightbox, still great.

How do I like it to work ? Maybe no need to create one, I don't know if it can be done. Like I already use Shareaholic for sharing posts. So if I had a post with Shareaholic activated and images that will be simple-lightboxed when clicked/tapped (example post : http://www.astrasuite.com/astrablog/aurorasound-vida-phono-stage-gallery/), then just show the same Shareaholic sharing buttons maybe under the title of the image.

Hi, I am very interested in the social sharing buttons aspects of this plugin. This is the best lightbox plugin to date. When javascript is disabled, it respects the 'Image attachment page' setting of a gallery, unlike many other lightboxes that seem to only function if your gallery directly links to an image.

Foobox has a nice social sharing setup (that's the only thing it does that I need, unlike simple-lightbox which is better every other way). http://foobox.fooshowcase.com/

Any idea when this can be implemented? thanks!

Social sharing buttons would be a great addition to a great lightbox plugin! In my ideal universe there would be an option so the various buttons could be activated individually to create custom combinations. Definitely looking forward to this! :-)
