What is the max photos for the gallery? Do they have to be in the resource folder, or can them be on a remote site? Thanks in advance ---

We don’t have a maximum number (yet)… how many are you planning on adding? Remote resources won’t work in the Gallery Component as Elements needs to generate the thumbnails for the grid view and there’s no way to do that if the originals are remote (hope that makes sense). ---

One album has 400 photos. I was using JAlbum web embed, which uses iframe. I could get it responsive width, but could not get response height. So looking for alternatives. ---

I drop a directory of photos in the well and it creates the thumbnails. When I publish and click on the thumbnail, it opens the lightbox with that photo, but the left and right arrows as well the the X for close do not work when I mouse click on them. I should be able to move thru the photos right? I should be able to close the lightbox with the X in the top right, correct? The Left and right arrows on the keyboard, and Esc key causes the lightbox, but I got that by guesswork. ---

Also is it possible to show filename or any meta data, so they can view the photos and let me know which one they want to use. ---

Save yourself time and don’t bother. Going to project settings and pressing “Revert to default” button not only fixed my “ **Parse error”** , but also fix this on MAMP Pro. It also works fine on IONOS. [Next page](https://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/photo-gallery/51075.md?page=2)
