    I have used gallery on a few projects now. I think the functionailty is awesome and it seems really close to the finished article. It works really well when you optimize all the images and upload them at a fixed width / height which is perfect for us web designers however for a client who wants to batch upload 50 1mb images all at different sizes it falls down. I haven’t used maxiGallery for ages but I can’t remeber having the same issues with that. Just my thoughts on improvements please correct me if you think otherwise. I’m not sure if its to do with caching, image optimisation etc. I have found the images load a lot quicker using the phpThumb method mentioned here:

      You should file concrete feature requests for Gallery at Github: https://github.com/splittingred/Gallery/issues

      This forum is for discussing possible FRs for the MODX core, not for addons smiley


      It is weird that decreasing the size of the cache would actually increase the speed though. Bookmarked that to try it later.
