Suppose that each viewer is a JPEG-or-GIF-or-something, with extension
".albumimage". We have a gallery "memes" with three images, badger,
mushroom and snake.
* some way to deep-link to memes/badger.jpg with a wikilink, without knowing a
priori that it's secretly a JPEG (probably harder than it looks - you'd
have to make a directive for it and it's probably not worth it)

+### bug: unable to vary thumbnail size
Hi smcv, great plugin. I am an ikiwiki newbie but so far I've had success using your plugin.
I've integrated the jquery masonry plugin into the albumitem template and it works great.
and value to album directive and while it does create the new thumbnail sizes it doesn't use them,
The 96x96 thumbnails still appear on the page no matter what I do. - jaime

Hi, the plugin looks great, but I am probably too dumb to use it ;( here is what I did:
created page gal.mdwn with just \[\[!album\]\] directive (no arguments) and subdirectory gal/ with images in form img_1234.jpg

+### bug + patch: not all images shown on album page
Hi smcv, we spoke on irc the other day. Passed `show => "0"` on line 126 in album.pm to remove the limit on the thumbnails shown on the album page. Setting it on the album directive didn't work.

+### bug: thumbnailsize doesn't work
As mentioned above by Jaime setting the thumbnailsize doesn't catch either. Or rather if I git push after changing the album directive the generated thumbnails (the image files) are the correct size as set in the directive. The html however uses the default thumbnailsize as hardcoded in album.pm and has broken thumbnails as it links to a file with the default size in the filename.
> [[KathrynAndersen]] fixed this, see below. --[[smcv]]
+>> Fixed in `album5` branch --s
+
Issuing `ikiwiki --rebuild` knocks the system into another gear where the thumbnails show up correctly but this is only due to the html being the same as above (linking to hardcoded thumbnailsize) but the generated thumbnail images are now matching the hardcoded size ignoring the thumbnailsize attribute on the album directive.
For me this behaviour is way beyond my skills to sort out (I'm no coder). The albumplugin ikiwiki combo is very attractive to me and the plugin i soo close to working!

-## wishlist + patch: make clicking on the large image go to the next
-
-I've changed the behavior of the "slideshow" to show the next image when clicking the large image as downloading a full resolution image is a rare use case in a gallery of this type imho. The large clicktarget means you are likely to unnecessarily download large files otherwise. I can't quite follow the template, album.pm flow so I can't figure out how to put a "download full resolution" link on the viewer page which would be my next step. To achieve the next link i added ` link => ($nextpage or $album),` around line 454 in `my $img`

-## wishlist from kjs

-My wishlist for the plugin would include:
-
-- Reading exif info from the imagefile
-- ~~Keeping the full resolution image files out of version control~~ Solved this by simply creating a underlay for the images. Works out of the box for my non cgi workflow.
-- Being able to create new albums by tag or by manually picking images from other albums. Could be a simple comma separated list of viewer names, or even full urls, in the album directive.
-- A counter showing **current image/total number of images in album**. This would mean that you know how many images you have left to click through before you have seen all images in an album. This gives you enought info to decide weather to click through or go back/leave.

Previous/Next image will not match the thumbnails in the inline but the thumbnails in the album. This is a bit confusing for users and prevents using the image in multiple contexts without duplicating the image. To achieve what I'm looking for there would have to be several AlbumViewer pages for a single image. --kjs

-## bug: inability to show more than 10 items
+### bug: inability to show more than 10 items
I've found another bug. The album plugin doesn't allow one to have more than 10 items in an album section. This is because it uses "inline" to display album sections, and the default for inline is to show only 10 items. So it only shows 10 items.

+Regarding commit `Change the default thumbnail size`: as far as I

+be as large as possible given these constraints: width ≤ 96px,
+height ≤ 96px, and the original aspect ratio is preserved. So I

+## cbaines' CSS changes
Regarding the CSS changes: I'll try to have a look soon, work out
what actually changed (since you re-ordered the CSS, so it isn't
a blueview album to be styled differently, because the IkiWiki Makefile
concatenates them: for instance, `/usr/share/ikiwiki/themes/actiontabs/style.css`
is the output of `cat doc/style.css themes/actiontabs/style.css`. So adding it
-to `doc/style.css` should be enough?
