I made this a while ago as part of the pet diary edition and finally got around to packaging it as its own plugin. I made a demo site with a guided tour and documentation here.

I am in the middle of trying to update all of my plugins to be more consistent and part of this is making the updating the demo sites. I am planning on using the wizard wizard plugin to make what will hopefully be useful explanations and introductions. Any input on what I should add would be appreciated.

Hi Jed,

In my personal pet diary, I put a new image button (from template) in the $:/plugins/inmysocks/Photo/Edit Photo Gallery right next to the new gallery button. I did so to make it easier to use the _canonical_uri field without spelling it the wrong way and to get all the fields, the type and also a possibility not only to use the caption field for comments about the photo. I have a field for English comments and one for Danish. Both are shown with little flags transcluded from another field. I am using a dropbox for the photos.

Hi Jed,

I did see that you explain about gallery filters in your wizard. I do think it would be good to set the sorting filter default, when creating a new gallery. Most people would be interested in sorting their photos, and if a new user do not put anything there, they willl have a difficult time editing it later.

Hi Jed,

Your Photo Gallery has worked well in several of my wikies, but when I wanted to use it in my knitting wiki, I found navigation lines all over the tiddler in every tiddler and had to scroll to find my content ;-). Removing tag $:/tags/ViewTemplate from $:/plugins/inmysocks/PhotoGallery/galleryTemplateHeader solves the problem.

Thanks for making this! When I went to import it into a new TW which I made a couple months ago, I got an error about it being older. I said OK anyways. Then I went through the steps. No images in the gallery ever showed up. 

I should probably create this in a new thread, but...heads up!

What version is the old wiki? I am hoping to spend a lot of time over the christmas break working on tiddlywiki so input here is good.
