Hi fruitwerks and moscow, you may want to look at the latest version (just google slide show 2) and implement it without snippet, it has upgraded a few features. The example in the google code page is confusing, but I did manage to get it working with the features I wanted to use, by looking at the demo page (the one on author’s site).
moscow, with the latest version, it’s very easy to add link to each image. If you decided to use the latest version, feel free to contact me if you get stuck, hopefulyl I can help.
