I have three different sizes for pics and would like to have the middle one as standard when people click a picture. How can I set that?

BTW - installation was very easy. Configuration was not that straightforward, but I got things figured out by reading the manual and forums. Still, there are things that I think could be done differently so that it would be easier to figure out. One thing that really made me smile is the little tool in the manual that calculate paths. Why ask for something more than once? When you have set up ftp, the paths should just suggest those values. It is ok to be able to edit the paths, but it makes things a lot easier if you do not have to repeat things.

I think you give it the path name "default"

In path editor give the middle path a variable name "default".

Path editor has a shorthand writing system in next version. You can write paths like

[POTN]/gallery/[D30]/newgallery/default/

http://photography-on-the.net/gallery/D30_photos/newgallery/default/

[FTPHOME]/newphotos/medium

/home/www/html/gallery/newphotos/medium

MYFTP/PATH2JOHN/photos/2

/ftp/home/gallery/john/latest/photos/2

This works in both ways: if you want, you can use shorthand system to make global changes to path names.

I will make soon an automatic recursive ftp browser which will seek out the EE's ftp path and make it a shorthand [FTP]. This will make installation much easier.
