you mean adding just like you did but on the filmstrip level, two extra arrows, to forward/reward by 'x' thumbs at a time? ( i like the one-by-one motion..
)
Sure, we can do both one by one and group by group. Some albums may benefit more from one or the other.
done!, tell me what you think

that was a nice suggestion, cause it made me recoded the whole thing in a lot more nicer way

- about compatibility issues: none server side, and on the client side, with not xmlhttp compliant and / or not javascript enabled browsers, the arrows won't work, but i think that's it ( i mean it won't corrupt the display nor make the browser crash )
- about saving bandwidth, since you just reload 1 or "x" thumbs but not the entire page, scrolling with the filmstrip definitely save some.
- i got an issue to fix ( meta albums..), and code/explanations should be here soon, files modified being:
. scripts.js
. theme.php of the theme used ( and themes.inc.php to make it work with the core version )
. filmstrip.php, a new file, which returns the filmstrip depending of the album and "the position" you want to make the filmstrip move: respect the privacy pictures settings
For what is about changing the same way the intermediate pic but with the top buttons, actually it may be more complicated, because of the rest of the content..comments and votes would be desynchronised, so you would have to update them too, etc..

Will you be continuing your work in the other thread with the big, scrollable thumbnail field too, or going more in this direction?
look at what's written under my nickname & avatar..

flash remoting is a whole different thing, but that i will continue for sure
