NExtgen 2 Pro version – Lightbox

    I want to buy your Pro version, so I just tried the Lightbox samples you have on your Pro examples page. On my Iphone 5.

    Why can I not pinch to expand the image (and subsequently to make it small again later) ? We don’t carry magnifying glasses all the time 🙂 So it is essentially useless, as we see millions of people with mobile phones “pinching” here, there, everywhere …

    The Lightbox from your Free version is fine.

    Or was that only in your sample page ? Please let me know, this is the most critical feature of a Lightbox for me before I decide to buy and hope no problems like the rest here … Social features are useless if we can’t see or even read them due to the small size of mobile phones. It’s a new world, most visitors to our site come from a mobile gadget.

    Thanks

    @astrasuite: The Pro Lightbox should open full screen on your phone. If it’s not, that’s a bug issue of some kind. We tested quite a bit on iphones, so it would take some testing to figure what may be happening there.

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    The issue is to enlarge or to decrease by “pinching”. i tried to make it clear …

    Did they test this ?

    The lightbox is just full screen, once fullscreen, you can’t pinch to shrink or increase size. That’s fairly standard for any kind of full screen image lightbox on mobile. Since it’s full screen and the only item on the page, you shouldn’t be able to make it any larger than it already is. If you’re seeing something different, please go ahead and submit a support note via your members area and we’ll look into it. Thanks!

    Thanks, so it cannot be done on pro version.
    Like i said before, you can pinch with the lightbox you have on your free version, same with other lightbox. Since i cannot use Pro, please bring back the “none” option under Effects in your nex release.
    you can see people pinching images on their mobile phones. I am
    Currently writing this from my phone, and i need to pinch it to see better. So this should be the standard.

    Well, i guess you paid your programmers well, so please ask them to take the challenge to make it 🙂

    On a related note, how are iPhone/mobile users supposed to conveniently close a photo once in Lightbox mode? There is a tiny “x” at the top right, but that is not a good user experience for a mobile user since that button is so tiny. I have witnessed several users struggle when using the NextGEN Pro Ligthbox effect in my galleries. Any suggestions?

    I don’t use Nextgen anymore, happily, so closing this thread
