  - hideAlbums (true)
    If set to false, albums will be shown to select on startup.
- The XML config file:
  Just checkout this example for now and be smart!
  (Be sure to check the source of this file. Since it is XML, it could display differently on your browser!)
Albums (or "sets") display
- with custom covers
- Albums resize relativily to display! (and smaller)
- Cover of default album shown as big image on start (if slideshow paused)
100% use of flash frame / view / display pane
Autohides buttons and thumbs (now also on idle)
Click image = Go to URL or Save dialog (without pop-up) ( = Save locally)
Only images from same domain can directly be saved, others will open in new browser window.
(Can be overrided with a flash security file, cross domain file, like inFlickr, etc.!)
Can be run standalone on your PC (with local (hard disk, usb, ..) or remote images)
Displays bugs & errors in a fading screen
Uses the SWFObject static publishing method (asa nested object or Flash Satay method) to ensure the most optimal cross-browser support by means of markup only, while being standards compliant and supporting alternative content.
Doesn't extract images, only makes them smaller if they don't fit.
Doesn't stop slideshow or thumbs when some image(s) are not available
Mini loadbar
One loader for all thumbs -> Less CPU memory?

For al further features check out the Changelog

Donations will only speed this up!
(I am a pro bono developer, so unfortunatly I don't have the time to develop without income. So sad, this world, alas)

Thumbnails are looked for in the image folder. So: make this folder also a parameter.
RSS feeds such as Picasa, Flickr, etc.
Rezisable albums display
XML file per album (to lower load time and unnecessary loading)
Preloading!
Download bar on thumbs
Optionally show thumbs all over the stage! (in rows and columns)
Take information out of image file meta (which one is the best?)
Ttitle and description per image
Clean Memory after each album (or make sure memory doesn't go above a certain amount, bc. it tends too with big photos!)
Add effect behind current shown thumb
Catch IOErrorEvent errors
Dates! If no date, take filedate!
language (l8n)

Since 2009-01-27:

- Repositioned control buttons
- Clicking when controls are hidden, now also shows next image (as a real slideshow should :-))
- Hide menu & mouse after mouse idle for 3 seconds
- Smaller, unobtrusive loadbar
- Hoovertips on buttons
- Start slideshow after first thumb loaded!
- Now hides the controls when leaving stage
- Browse with keyboard (space, enter, arrows)
- default config file is now fmg.xml in default folder (local and remote player should work now without changes )
- Autohiding of buttons and thumbs (now also on idle)
- Shows cover of default album on start (if slideshow paused)
- one loader for all thumbs -> Less CPU memory? (Especially for Sabine's old Desktop, hehe)

- Album scroller (when more albums than can be shown)
- Start on album view
- FIXED: save image bug.
- FIXED: bad last thumb position
