My clients likes to use the new 'exclude' shortcode to hide certain images from his gallery. Unfortunately when you're viewing the actual attachments, the previous/next links and list of thumbnails (should you be doing this) seem to include the excluded images.
Is there a way to get around this by detecting the parent post's exclude values and applying them to these variables, or is this an oversight?
For example here is what I use to generate a list of thumbnails of the whole gallery while viewing a single attachment (I've hardcoded the excludes here, wheras ideally it should automatically fetch them from the post):
$args = array(
'exclude' => '514, 516, 521, 522, 523, 526, 601',
'numberposts' => -1,
'order' => 'asc',
'post_parent' => $post->post_parent,
'post_status' => null,
'post_type' => 'attachment'
);
While I can accept my bespoke functionality here not working, it seems like the prev/next buttons should definitely ignore excluded images.
