Could G2image "remember" setting when editing?

Hello,

I got G2Image up and running and I think it will be a great help to our users.

I noticed that after you use the regular "Image..." button that appears below the tinyMCE editor window in Joomla, selecting the image and clicking that button again will load the details from the image into the dialog that comes up.

Would it be possible to do something similar with G2image? e.g. to pull up the gallery and item(s) based on the G2images that were inserted then selected in the browser, when the g2image button is clicked again?

Thanks,

Thom,

Sorry for the delay in replying. Life got in the way of G2Image work for a while. I'm back to some development, trying to get G2Image upgraded to work with TinyMCE 3.0 first, and then to wrap up G2Image 3.1 and get it out the door.

I have the "remember settings" working for all the settings in the development code for version 3.1. It's set up to remember the settings and current album for the duration of the browser session. In other words, so long as you keep Firefox (or any other less superior browser of your choice) open, G2Image will open to the same album with the same settings. When you close the browser and reopen it, G2Image will revert to the defaults as set in config.php.

FYI, I'm going to try to get 3.0.3 out the door next week. The only changes from 3.0.2 will be an updated interface with TinyMCE and JCE for TinyMCE 3.0 and replacing Lightbox with Slimbox. (Same functionality, just smaller download and fewer conflicts with other Lightbox installations.) I have about two weeks of coding to do on 3.1 after that. The real trick is that it's going to take me a month or two to get that two weeks in because life is still hectic. I'm shooting to have 3.1 out in beta by June, with final release in July or August.

If you'd like to sign up for the G2Image release announcements, you can do so at http://g2image.steffensenfamily.com/lists/ I'm the only person that can send anything to that list, and I only use it for version release announcements, so the traffic on it is very sparse and never spam.

Thanks,
Kirk
