How does one make the thumbnails smaller (grid). When I adjust the width, they just get blurry. I see you can do it with Gap and number of Columns, but come on? ---

> [@TomM](#): > > How does one make the thumbnails smaller (grid). When I adjust the width, they just get blurry. The width setting is for sizing the thumbnail image, so you have full control over the size of the actual image. It’s not for the display size. > [@TomM](#): > > I see you can do it with Gap and number of Columns, but come on? That’s correct, use the Columns and Gap setting to adjust the layout of the thumbnails. ---

Today I decided to buy the Gallery Pro component. With the 25% discount it’s still not cheap, but it’s a component I will use frequently. And … I see it as support to the Elements team. I must admit, Elements is a good app. When I start Rapidweaver frome time to time, it’s a big difference. ---

Just another question how to format sub-galleries. The screenshots below shows different sub-galleries, indicating the sub-galleries’ name below and the number of photos. The names come from the names of the sub-folders and are formatted as “caption” in the inspector, the # of “photos” seems to be automatically generated and is formatted with “author”. Turning off, both “caption” and “author” does not hide the sub-titles (this works only when “Hidden” is selected). I would however like to keep the caption / name of sub-folder, but not the # of photos, or at least change the it to “paintings (Bilder)”. How can the done? ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/3/0/308b013e40a140252a7ca967f2082cf4787e1df6.jpeg) ---

> [@llangpierce](#): > > remote folder on a server of videos. Can this be done Gallery Pro doesn’t currently support remote folders. I can’t say for sure when/if we’ll get to this, but it has been requested a few times, so we’ll try and prioritise it 🙂 ---

@ben @dan , is it possible to add “random” to the settings in the Gallery Pro component? This way viewers get different photos everytime they visit the gallery (galleries) page. I just checked Rapidweaver Classic, and the Photo Pro stack have this option. Thanks ---

My advice would be to make the images as small as possible without losing any noticeable quality. So just keep tweaking the settings until you start to see a difference in quality, as soon as you do, stop. ---

hey @ben any chance to get additional to a remote folder also a connection to the CMS so that I can add a folder in the CMS and feed it into the Gallery. That would be a great thing. ---
