I have Rapidweaver Classic, which isn’t all that useful without the Stacks plug=in, which costs money. The Stacks plug-in isn’t all that useful without individual Stacks; each of which costs money.Developers come and go which requires purchasing additional Stacks.
I understand you wanted to get your mitts on that Stacks/plug-ins cashflow. Maybe you squabbled with the Stacks team or Stacks plug-in developers. I don’t know. Your solution was Elements, which does look nice, but it’s subscription only.
Elements was supposed to be an all-inclusive platform. That is, subscribe and get all the toys. No Stacks plug-in required. But now you tout Gallery Pro which works under Elements. It’s back to the old pricing plan. To get the functionality of a picture gallery, Elements is insufficient, so you have to shell out an additional $1oo or so to get that functionality.
So nothing has changed, it’s RW _+ platform + plugins all over again. Except, you’ve just cut out the middleman. Now it’s RW + plugins and the entire indie developer community is cut out.
I don’t see that this is a better state of affairs.

Hello
We released Gallery Pro a couple of days ago and, thanks to your feedback, we’ve already added a couple of great new features:
Image Protect
Responsive Lightbox controls — enable or disable the Lightbox per breakpoint
You can see both of these in action in the video below.
The update is already live in the Elements Store, so just head to the Updates tab to download the latest version.
Do let us know if you’d like us to add anything else to Gallery Pro and we’ll see what we can do
