Lack of Thumbnail pagination

[Mark in LA]

When the number of thumbnails don't fit onto the page one can have problems with Thumbnail pagination. There are no arrows so one relies on seeing a partial thumbnail. However, sometimes, the size of the page is such that it doesn't show. If this happens, there is no way to paginate the thumbnails other than to go through the images in the direction you want to get to. It's a workaround, but it seems pagination arrows are the more intuitive approach. Please consider :)

I also would LOVE to have a solution for this. When there are too many thumbnails to display in a row, there is no way to scroll the thumbnails to the right or left to jump forward. I tried loading 100 images, which worked beautifully and quickly I might add (NICELY DONE DEVELOPING THIS TOOL AND API!!!), but to get to image 50 I had to select the far right image, wait for it to load. Then the thumbnail bar would slide all the way to the left, as I would expect, and then I clicked on the far right thumbnail again. Waited for it to load and then the thumbnails all slid to the left again. And so on, until I finally got to the 5th screen of 10 thumbnail images, where I finally found number 50.

I think Mark's solution is perfect. An arrow that appears when your mouse reaches the far right or left of the row of thumbnails would be perfect. Just like the arrow on the slides themselves.

I take it back. It *is* supported, but undocumented it seems.
To enable it, change the following two declarations in camera.css :

.camera_prevThumbs
{
 ...
visibility: visible; /* was : visibility: hidden; */
...
}

.camera_nextThumbs{
...
visibility: visible;
...

Hey, did you manage it to display the thumbs correctly? I set the visibility to visible but the thumb get displayed in two line because the UL element has the wrong width. If i adjust the width of it, the thumbs are displayed in one line, but the ul element enlarges the whole camera slider which i dont want to happen.

I haven't tested it that thoroughly, but it seemed to work ok for me. I never added more than 10 items, or so. I did have a similar issue of thumbnails appearing on two lines - but this seemed to be caused my choice of images instead, because it was already like this before changing the visibility on those buttons. 

If I added an image to it that was extremely wide (my normal thumbnails were 100x75, but take for example 250x75,) things got screwed up and displayed in two lines. I 'fixed' this by improving my thumbnail generation code (server-side) to not generate those extremely wide thumbs.

Kind regards,

Maxime

Thanks for the hint, i fixed the calculation of the width (works in FF not in IE). After that, the UL breaked it's container (overflow: hidden was set) and stretched the slider to the whole width of the thumb bar. I had to set .camera_command_wrap {position:absolute} to avoid that.
