Creating a new gallery

First make your layout settings:

Preview type: Select thumbnails or images

Column count

Padding between the previews

Width and height of the previews: The preview images will be cropped if they are bigger than the selected size.

Than select the images in the file browser and add them to the gallery list. Here you can manage directories and files and you can upload files with the multi uploading tool.

If you have selected the thumbnail preview you can create now the thumbnails. Press the button and browse through the gallery images. Move the red canvas to select the right part of the image you want to use as preview. Save every thumbnail with a click on the disk symbol. After that work and closing the image editor the thumbnails in the gallery list will be updated.

The thumbnails will be saved in images/[image folder]/.thumbs. This folder is hidden in the filemanager.

Now change the order of the images by dragging the symbols or remove images by clicking the x symbol.

Save the gallery by clicking “Save”. You will be prompted to input a file name.
