When I have publisher create the downloadable jpg files the download icon appears as it should.  The full view icon is white as it is supposed to be as well. 

Now I also have galleries that have tif files to download for clients as well (a few even have other formats as well based on client need).  Am I not going to be able to set those files as the downloadable files?

I don't use this setting in publisher. I manually create the downloadable files, then upload them to the correct folder set under the Appearance:Image Download. But yes the Image downloads are enabled, dl buttons are enabled as well and the folder/type are set. It is strange, exactly the same settings and template from 615, and exhibiting very different behavior.

The 5000 pixel limit was a problem for client files when I use high Mpx cameras ie Medium format backs and now my 50Mpx Canon.  Even my 5d2/3 produced files bigger than 5000px wide. If it would publish 1:1 regardless of the size I would be happy to do it your way.

Yes that sample gallery has no images linked to download, but the icon shows up since the gallery is set to have dl files.  On my site using publisher both the galleries here have files to dl and use the same template as 617 above, but they never show.  Download links dont show with any of my galleries that are set to use them. using gallery 617, publisher 231, pages 7014a.

Having other issues as well.  a comparison of the same gallery in v 615 and 617 exported with the same preset

The bottom bar does not lock to the bottom in 617 and when you sellect it to see it full page magnific popup doesnot start.  its the same with highslide selected as well.  Both work in 615 just fine.  The download icons seem to be showing up when i export a straight gallery but when used as a template for publisher they do not show.

617 is not working for me either independently or as a template for publisher.  returning to 615 fixes everything.

So I got my hands dirty and edited the template_index.php file in my publisher driven galleria slideshows.

Where the php makes the call to run galleria i added some variables that I set to the standard then an if statement that checks for the screen width and sets the variables I want changed for mobile, then call those variables in the Galleria.configure.  This gave the the ability to have different setups for galleria and optimize for mobile.  The differences are subtle but make a difference.  And i couldn't figure out how to get this into css or a phplugin.  Not elegant and has its downfalls, but it works.

$GalleriaHeight  = .453125;
$GalleriaimageCrop = "height";

if (screen.width < 768 || navigator.userAgent.match(/Android|Blackberry|SymbianOS|iPhone|iPod|iPad/i)){ 
    $GalleriaHeight = 0.66;
    $GalleriaimageCrop = "landscape";
}
        
Galleria.loadTheme("<?php echo TTG_SITE; ?>lib/galleria/galleria.ce4.min.js");
Galleria.run("#galleria");
Galleria.configure({
    
    autoplay: 3000, 
    clicknext: true, 
    fullscreenCrop: false, 
    height: $GalleriaHeight, 
    imageCrop: $GalleriaimageCrop, 
    imagePan: false, 
    initialTransition: "fade", 
    maxScaleRatio: 1, 
    pauseOnInteraction: true, 
    showCounter: true, 
    showImagenav: true, 
    showInfo: false, 
    thumbnails: false, 
    touchTransition: "fadeslide", 
    transition: "fade", 
    transitionSpeed: 400,
    _showFullscreen: true,
    _showPlay: true
});

So I think I figured it out.  In publisher the 'Custom' option under Cover Image sets the autoindex.xml file to 'custom_thumbnails/'.  You then place any custom thumbnail there in that folder which was automatically created with the gallery.  Now that I've done, it seems very straightforward.   By Custom, I guess I assumed (bad) that it meant it would use whatever I had set in the template for thumbnail folders.   I can't set my own folder.  You are totally correct that the template autoindex is completely irrelevant.  But this is actually easier, I don't have to remember anything.  Just put the custom thumb file in the right spot, select custom and viola, custom thumbnail.  It works great if you follow those simple steps.  Just didn't see it explained that way in the tutorials.  Thanks.

When using a Galleria Slideshow in Stage CE3 broke down much nicer on mobile.  The switch to a simple gallery presention worked better at mobile screen dimensions.  Trying to figure out how to shoehorn a gallery presentation into the mobile place.  Cant seem to figure it out yet though.

very true for file size but with the advent of higher and higher resolutions what are we going to do.  sites designed around 1280 screens breakdown at high resolutions as well as you leave a lot of space wasted.  bandwidth of course is an issue with large file sizes but video dwarfs what we are talking here.  the site is responsive enough to only send the size image required correct, so if the images were set that large the site only sends an image sized appropriately for the display?  or am i completely incorrect there.  would you have to have a smart screen check and use separate images for resolutions that high?

Finally discovered the issue.  I had a line in my htaccess file RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp)$ - [F,NC].  Comment it out and everything works fine.  Not sure where it came from or if it is mistyped.  I know it is usually to prevent hotlinking.  But everything works without it.  Strange how CE3 worked just fine with it though.
