I think this would be more of a setting that you would turn on/off because you might want to use the plugin without the short code, or with the shortcode in your template and not your content, or you might have AJAX functionality on your site (like my site has). In all these cases, it might be hard to effectively and elegantly include these scripts only as necessary.
I think the way it would work is that this would be turned off by default (to avoid problems for less tech-savvy users), but you could turn it on. It would read something like:
“If you are only using this plugin for galleries in your main content and are not using Javascript, you should turn on this feature in order to include javascript files only when necessary.”
…something like that.
What do you think?
Like I mentioned in the other thread, this will probably make it to the next revision, in a few weeks.
Thanks for the suggestions?
