thumbs size

    Hello,

    I am only using the plugin with hosted pictures (WP native galleries, from Media Library).

    Whem I am displaying the thumbs at 150×150, I think they are too small.
    When I am displaying the thumbs at 300×300, I think they are too big.

    However, I’ve seen another approach here: https://www.newboard.ro/panouri-mdf-lemn-ceramica

    where thumbs are about 210×210 and adjusted in size based on the window size. Can we duplicate that behavior? Otherwise, having a fixed-size thumb is never a good idea, for example on mobile, a 150×150 thumb will not fill the available space, as you can see here:

    I tried setting the max number of columns to 5, but in that case, the plugin would keep on trying to display 5 columns even on mobile, which obviously is not a good idea.

    Any solutions? Thank you

    PS: also it would be nice to have a zoom icon on hover on thumbs (same example link can be observed)

    Let me apologize if I offended you, there was no intention of name calling, I am doing the best I can with the limited command of the English language that I have (not a native here).

    Yes, you are right about the img ‘width: 100%; height: auto;’, it is used to scale down the images, not up, and I think I went the wrong track about the 150px image to fill the screen at 320px viewport. My initial example was showing a 300px thumb scaled down, and that was what I was looking for.

    Of course upscaling looks bad. You are correct. This is why I said the masonry upscale behavior to just one column on initial tab switch bothers me.

    I actually got side-tracked a bit, I wanted a behavior close to my initial example page (https://www.newboard.ro/panouri-mdf-lemn-ceramica/) which is created with Visual Composer and PrettyPhoto… I looked at PrettyPhoto but it is not updated in years. I switched to PrettyPhoto in your plugin but it looks totally different. I am only ever going to create galleries from hosted images in Media Library, so maybe Photonic is overkill, but I liked it, for some reason, one being I could interact with you.

    I am rating this plugin 5 starts and will donate.
    Thanks for the help

    No harm done! We all get a bit carried away at times (I have done it myself). The important thing is I am glad you got the plugin working to your satisfaction.

    You are right in the sense that Photonic is somewhat of an overkill with respect to native WP galleries particularly if you are trying to display a regular square grid. But I do like seeing it used in as many places as possible with all the layout and lightbox capabilities it offers, and addressing each support request personally and promptly helps me make the plugin better and more comprehensive.
