Cooliris - large pictures

I have the cooliris gallery working brilliantly but I want to be able to load high resolution images when the "open this items page" button is clicked.
I've tried the parameter in the control panel "cooliris image" set to original but the large thumbnail loads and not the original picutre
I can't see any other option which would change this - short of having the large thumbnail much larger than I would like and taking up significantly more server space.

Thanks in advance

Hi, did you recreate the rss file after doing the modifications? (re create Cooliris XML file)

I recreated the rss file, but I'm not sure what you mean about recreating the xml file?
the rss feed for an item reads as follows
<item>
<title>cimg2426</title>
<link>
http://www.mondayclubonline.co.uk/image ... .jpg</link>
<media:description></media:description>
<media:thumbnail url="

<media:content url="

I've even deleted all the rss files and recreated them, but with no sucess

Hi, I have checked it but it seems like cooliris only enable this option for large thumbnails not for the original image. because if you click on the image to get it in better quality (original image) then there is no option to open the image

isn't it a case of just modifying the code so that when the rss file is created if the cooliris option is set to original image rather than thumbnail then the code changes from
<item>
<title>cimg2426</title>
<link>
http://www.mondayclubonline.co.uk/image ... .jpg</link>
(ETC)
</item>
to
<item>
<title>cimg2426</title>
<link>
http://www.mondayclubonline.co.uk/image ... .jpg</link>
(ETC)
</item>
I'd try and do it but I'm not even nearly smart enough to go messing with the mail phoca gallery code!!

well I've achieved it by the cunning use of the find and replace function in wordpad

Hope that this can be introduced into new versions though
