7.0 Images Gallery - move to and Lightbox title problem?
Just upgraded another site from 5.4 to 7.0 and noticed some stuff.
If you have a image gallery widget on a page which filters a certain library and that library is moved then the page is not updated.
I have set the parent top library to have 3 thumbnail setting however the wiget lets me choose all available sizes (I would have exepcted only the once set for the library to be available)
If you leave the comment of a image empty the title will be displayed below the image in lightbox style. I think it used to be that if you had no comment you get no description under the page. If this is default it would force everyone to change the title for every image not to have DSC_044566 displayed.

I have a problem moving some libraries. First I thought it had to do with libraries with more then 100 images bug that did not seem to be the case

I figured out why I was not able to move some libraries.
The library to be moved contained some double images. Same URL twice. So when I tried to move it would create the now folder (sublibrary) but due to the erorr stop moving.
I found this out when I then tried to move the images to the new sub library and got the error message Images_00043 allready exists.

About the ability to choose all thumb settings in gallery widget when you have only set 2 thumbs settings to a library. It seems the 7.0 has a lazy thumbnail generation. Which makes me wonder if we should still add thumbsettings to libaries and create the thumbs or if this is just needed if you want some api usage on the thumbs.
--------------------
Still would like to know why titles are now shown in the lightbox when no comments are entered.

Hello Markus,
I tried to replicate the behaviour:
Still would like to know why titles are now shown in the lightbox when no comments are entered.
However, the title of the images ( when using lightbox mode of the gallery widget ) was shown in all cases:
1. Comments disabled.
2. Comments enabled, none comments entered.
3. Comments enabled, some of the images containing comments others not.
In all cases, the controls performed as expected.
If possible, can you outline your scenario when using a brand new project, to verify the problematic behaviour.
Regarding the thumbnails - you can continue using the thumbnail generation settings- they are useful in all cases, whether you use thumbnails API or the backend UI.

Sorry Victor
My bad in not getting the problem over correct (translation not comment but description). This screencast should explain it :-)

It used to be like this. If you entered a description for an image you would get the bar under the image when using lightbox.No description = no bar (description) for image.
Now in 7.0 if you have no description the comment is shown which is (if not changed) often something like DSC_98938 or similar.
So in order not to get an useless description under the image you need to give proper titles to each image. Which if you have a lot can be a lot of work.

Hi Markus,
The lightbox image title is set directly from the presenting image and falls back to its title when there is no description. We can change its behavior client side and choose whether to show the lightbox title at all, or only the one that has description.
To disable the title you should add the following javascript to the page where the gallery is:
Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.Libraries.Web.UI.Images.MasterThumbnailLightBoxView.prototype._onLoad= function () $('#' + this.get_element().id + " a.sfLightBox").fancybox('titleShow':false);1.<sf:SitefinityHyperLink2. CssClass="sfLightBox"3. data-desc='<%# Eval("Description")%>'4. runat="server"5. rel='<%# String.Format("0_mainImageGallery", this.ClientID) %>'6. id="singleItemLink"/>01.Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.Libraries.Web.UI.Images.MasterThumbnailLightBoxView.prototype.02._onLoad= function () 03. var els = $("a.sfLightBox");04. debugger;05. for(var i=0; i<els.length; i++)06. var desc= $(els[i]).data("desc");07. $(els[i]).attr("title",desc);08. $('#' + this.get_element().id + " a.sfLightBox").fancybox();09. 10.Dear Nikola
Thanks for the help. Any reason why this was changed?

Hi Markus,
The generated <a> tag element has title property automatically added and when you do not have description of the image it fallbacks to the image title. Then, this property is used as the lightbox by the fancybox plugin, which generates the full images gallery.
Since, changing the template will not work in this case, the changes should be done client side.
