Connect, folder thumbs, to a category

[miri]

I'm using PhocaGallery with jsn_Imageshow.
It is possible to connect in some way, the THUMBS folder to a category. Why do I need images with watermarks, and jsn_imageshow reads only the categories of PhocaGallery and not folders.
Thank you

Hi, sorry, I don't understand what you exactly mean? "connect thumbs to category"?

I saw that phoca gallery, each image folder, create a subfolder called ' thumbs '
I want to create a category of images, and as a source, wants to have the subfolder ' thumbs ' as images and not the folder with the original images.
Thank You

example.
I have a folder of images titled '../flowers',
PhocaGallery, automatically creates the subdirectory '/flowers/thumbs '

I create a category named ' Image list flowers'
but as the main source, I want to get the subfolder '../flowers/thumbs/'
and not the '../flowers/' folder with the original images

Excuse my English

Hi, there is no such option, thumbs folder is a folder for storing thumbnails of original images and it is under work the whole time (e.g. if new thumbnails are regenerated)

What you exactly mean with main source? If you want to use thumbnails for creating thumbnails, then you will be in loop which never ends, so this is not possible. What is the reason for this?

Then.
I'm using JSN_Imageshow, as a gallery for pictures, which unfortunately does not offer the watermark function, but that is well integrated, to use Phoca_Gallery, as a source of images.

Phoca_Gallery offers the watermark option, only the folder (thumbs).
In fact, when I choose the category of Phoca_Gallery images, via JSN_Imageshow, this offers all the images without watermarks.

So was wondering if somehow, through jsn_imageshow, I could catch the folder (thumbs) as a source category.

Hi, I think, this is then more the question on jsn_imageshow developers. In fact, I cannot understand why original images are linked, why not the thumbs, as like you wrote, you can add watermark there, but even you can build easily the size of slideshow images.

For example, slideshows based on Phoca Gallery use the thumbnails, as you can set the size for them and you can optimize it (jpg) so e.g. you don't load 4MB large image in slideshow but only optimized for the slideshow.

Usually I do not speak ill of others, but unfortunately, jsn_iamgeshow, while being paid, does not have these functions.

Kudos to you for this beautifull component called.
I wonder, how can you offer it for free. It is crazy ;-)

Good job.

Ok, anyway, try to test this slideshow module, maybe it can fit your needs too:
