Define slideshow. :) Have an example? Most things are easily possible. Do you mean a slider like this?http://addons.market.isitvivid.com/block-examples/simple-slider...

Hi Michael

Here you find a sample:
http://www.theaterimpaul.ch/produktionen/long-trail-fotogalerie...
You can click on a picture and then the slideshow starts there, when you do no further clicks. One picture after the other is shown. I created this with visual light box and included it with a iFrame in the concrete5 website.
My question is, could I get a similar behaviour with thumb gallery and can I do this with as many pictures (about 100 per gallery) or is this to much (space, performance)? Thumb gallery would integrate better into the website than visual lilght box and there would be no promotion footer.

Did you view the demo of thumb gallery? It doesn't automatically go to the next picture, but you can click on the right side or left side (or on mobile, swipe) the image to go to the next large image.

Yes, I've seen this. But I think this is not the same as a slideshow, especially if you have a lot of pictures.

What additional features are you looking for? With the thumb gallery (http://addons.market.isitvivid.com/block-examples/thumb-gallery) using lightbox, you get a gallery of images (same as your example), you can click a thumbnail to enlarge (same as your example). Once enlarged, you can click the enlarged image to view the next image (same as your example). You can even use your left/right keyboard arrow to navigate through AND on mobile devices you can swipe to view the next image.

Hi Michael

As I said earlier, I would like to click once and than have a slideshow without the need to click or swipe for every picture. Further, I wonder, if the thumb gallery works well with about 100 pictures in 1 gallery or if this is too much.

So no, it does not automatically go to the next slide. We could always make a one-off custom extension for you if needed though at our hourly rate. I would try and consider if that's something you really need. Honestly, most users do not want to wait 5 seconds for the next image to appear. They want to click a "next" button, or close it out and open another. It's certainly what Facebook does, and how most people interact with these.

There's no reason why you couldn't use 100 images, or a 1000 images in this block. You just upload all the images you'd like into a fileset, and choose that fileset when you add a block.

Thank you for your answers. No, it isn't really needed, but I think, it would be useful to have a 'slideshow' option. With the image slider, we already have a similar thing.
I will try with thumb gallery. I still have the option to leave the gallery as it is now.

Hi Michael
I now try out thumb gallery. It works fine, thank you very much, but there are some problems.
When you have a lot of pictures, they must have small file-sizes. Otherwise, concrete5 will become problems with refresh, save, edit ... but this seems to be a problem of concrete5, not thumb gallery.
When you have a lot of pictures, some with only small differences, it is quite difficult to rearrange them correctly, especially because you only see the thumbnails and no filenames. The sorting of the pictures seems to be quite random? (coming from the database?) After copying to the clipboard and inserting the gallery on another page, all the rearranging is lost.

Technically, it's a problem with your host. Because yes, concrete5 is trying to scale/crop a lot of images all at once, and your web hosting server can't handle the pressure. That said, if you turn caching on your site, if you load the page once, it'll cache all of that and not strain your server again.

I'm not sure how the default sort is, but I assume you'd like to see it sorted by the way the image set sorts it? If so, that's something we're working on, and someone else also requested. Beyond that, what would make it easier on you to rearrange the images? If we make the thumbnails too large, they would actually be harder to rearrange since moving a single image up the rows would take an awkward drag/drop/scroll ordeal.

Hi Michael
I think sorting by the original filename (ascending/descending) would be helpful.
I agree that larger thumbnails would make rearranging more difficult. For me, it would have been helpful to see the original filename of the picture to easy identify the picture and the position in the list. It could also be helpful to be able to select several pictures to move them around and to be able to move up or down with the arrow keys not only with the mouse. Rearranging with the mouse turned out to be quite tricky somethimes (first or last picture in a line ...). But I don't know how complicated such changes are.

We're adding a couple updates. First off, it pulls in the sort from the fileset rather than random. We're also adding the filename title.

I think selecting multiple images to drag/sort would be nice. Maybe in the near future

Sorry, but how can I post a review?
