New Features for AWSOM Pixgallery 4.4.2SE (Second Edition):

NEW ADMIN OPTION FEATURE:
1) Would you like to hide the display of the Sidebar on Image Gallery Pages? 
This feature hides the sidebar display on the large thumbnail page to allow for larger images to appear wihtout overlapping and breaking some fixed width
Wordpress themes. This feature works for most themes, but will not work on themes that do not directly use sidebar.php as the means of displaying their
sidebars.
2) Would you like to use the advanced Visual Editor to edit your Image and Gallery Captions?
This feature turns on or off the advanced Visual Editor, which can be used to add your image or gallery captions. 

NEW ADMIN AREA FEATURES:
1) Manage Galleries area. You now have the ability to define your galleries. Input the name of the gallery, a Custom name (if you want one), the path to the gallery
(note that it has to start with a / and end with a / and is from the root folder of your Wordpress install), A Gallery Caption (which will appear above the gallery
on a page or post that contains that gallery), tags (not implemented yet, but you can input them now for when the feature becomes active in a new version
of the plugin), and you can set a gallery as the default. In addition once you set up a gallery you can select it and have the plugin generate the code
needed to input into a page or post to have that gallery appear.

2) Manage Image Captions has moved to the "Write" menu in the Admin area. Due to a programming design issue in Wordpress you can't have 2 plugin admin submenus
in the same area, so the manage image captions area has been moved and Gallery management has been placed in the Manage area. This makes sense anyway
since it is expected that images will be more often added than Galleries, and the Write area is where new things are input anyway.

3) New features in the Image Caption area. Now you can add custom names, assign images to galleries (set up in the Manage Galleries area), and add tags to your
images (not currently implemented, but you can input them now so when the feature is activated in a future release they immediately appear). PLEASE NOTE: A major change has occurred
in how Image Captions are input. The Name field now REQUIRES you to input the full name of the image including the extension. Upper/lowercase is important
also. You will need to go back and edit any existing images to add their proper extension into the name field for them to now work properly (sorry, was necessary
to add more advanced features).

NEW USABILITY FEATURES:

1) Sub gallery folders in thumbnail pages now have the designation "(Folder)" attached so the viewer is aware it is a sub gallery.

2) Custom Names for Galleries and Images now appear correctly in the breadcrumb view on the Large Thumbnail page. 

3) A new Default cache system is available. New installs will have it made automatically, upgraders can use the create default cache button in
the AWSOM Pixgallery Options page to create and switch to the new default cache. This should eliminate many previous issues with users having
problems with setting up a cache folder.

4) A new Default Gallery system is available. New installs will have it made automatically, upgraders can create it using the Create Default Gallery 
button in the Manage Galleries area. This creates a pixgallery folder in your uploads area that you can use to place your images. It matches the default
gallery profile set up in the Manage Galleries area, so you can use the code generator to make the code to place in your pages to display
the gallery  very easily now. (In 4.5.0 when the image upload function is added you will be able to upload your images through the admin area
directly to this folder)


To get support, find the latest release version of this mod, or report a bug please visit AWSOM.org or Harknell.com

KNOWN ISSUES:

1) If a user is 2 levels (or more) into a gallery [so the user has clicked a top level directory image, then clicked the thumbnail of an image in the thumbnail view and is on the image page
view for a single image] the link to go back to the upper most level will instead bring the user to the thumbnail view for the current gallery. This appears to be
a regular PixGallery bug unrelated to the AWSOM mod. I will look into it when I have time unless it is fixed by a new release of the regular PixGallery.

2) Pasting the code into a page or post generated by AWSOM Pisxgallery from the Manage Galleries page for a Gallery using the Visual editor does not
function properly. This is due to the fact that the editor does not like directly input "HTML' code. Switch to the Code editor, paste the code, then switch back
to the Visual editor and it will work properly.
