I got another XML gallery thrown at me this week and am thinking of adding a new feature.
When a user clicks on a gallery it will load the first image, and continue to load all of the images so they won’t have to wait each time they hit next, as it would be in their cache.
this link has been thrown around a lot, but I don’t think this feature (which is an awesome feature, oh yes) has been addressed.
Goto one of the galleries and wait for it to load, and then keep hitting next. The pictures load before you get there. You can catch up to the unloaded ones and reach a loader bar if you hit next enough times.
Anyone have an idea of how to implement this feature? This should be in every XML gallery, as it vastly improves user experience. People love to just hit next and see pictures immediately!
