    Uncle Cheese, thanks for the response. I will start to integrate the ImageDataObjectManager soon. an example of the slideshow I am planning to include can be seen here: http://dev.rye-designs.com/photography/

    How close is the ImageGallery support for this, and from my example do you expect I could achieve similar results with your ImageGallery? I do have a couple bugs to work out, so if your slideshow support is close, I would be interested in it.

    Thanks again!

    Thanks, Fuzz! Glad to hear it.

    @drye: This seems to be a common misconception about the ImageGallery. The templates that come with it are not by any means intended for use in the final production of your site. They're merely there to get you started and show you the basic template controls. You're free to handle the output of the gallery any way you want.

    Of course, it would be nice if in the Configuration tab, you could choose "None" for the popup UI to avoid Javascript conflicts.

    Of course, Not a misconception on my part, I just have no need for any of the thumbnails, controls, or any of the ImageGallery support really. And yes there is that pesky issue of JS conflicts

    But my current slide show is not perfect, thus why I asked how yours is coming along. I figure I can style it anyway I see fit, what I meant by asking if I could achieve similar results with the slide show you are working on is the controls available, the navigation at the bottom, and transition effects. None the less, I believe I will give your ImageObjectManager a try to drive the data to my current show.

    Thanks again, and good day.

    This is the slideshow I plan on implementing with ImageGallery:

    http://smoothgallery.jondesign.net/

    Works just like Slideshow Pro, but no Flash. Problem is, it's MooTools, so there's a lot of work to be done in resolving JS conflicts there.

    Waiting till I have docs done. I am anxious to get it added, though.

    To avoid the JS conflicts have a look at this slide show instead:

    http://dhonishow.de/

    It is jquery based.

    I had considered SmoothGallery but went with dhonishow rock instead to avoid conflicts.
