I think the gallery is just about perfect for my needs. Your gallery is the nicest, most user-friendly gallery component I've seen. Unfortunately, the gallery is a secondary "nice to have", and if I find room in the project budget, I'll add it.
My primary concern is to for clients to be able to add articles (with image zoom capability) to their websites as easily as possible. (or more precisly with as little tech support as possible) I am doing my best to avoid the "right-side image column" article look. My first thought was to build it in-house, but then I thought contacting the creators of an existing editor to add the feature would be a faster and cheaper alternative. I would find it strange if other customers would not find value in adding that functionality. If I can throw some in to start the process and the developers can sell it to others, everybody wins.
Oh, well. I'll probably just go back to the "right-side image column" or extend some open source editor. It was worth asking though, it looks like a great product.
Thanks for the response.
