Coming Soon: New Navigation Features

Development of some improved gallery navigation features is under way. Qdig image-display pages will be able to include a single row of thumbnail links for "nearby" images (demo). Directories with lots of images will have a thumbnail-only view (demo). Benefits: The default size of thumbnail images will be able to be larger and Qdig will be more useful for very large image collections.
