   I'm having trouble viewing photos on Nextgen Gallery using Google Chrome. When I have a list of photos, I can view the first one, but when I click next, I just get a "loading" message and the photo does not load. I do not have this problem with Firefox.

   Same problem here. I can view 3 images or so, but after viewing a fourth on the same page I get stuck at LOADING. Photo will never load.

   Alexrabe,

   Someone cought the problem over at
   http://www.laptoptips.ca/projects/wp-shutter-reloaded/

   Here’s a fix for the perpetual loading bug with Google Chrome 4.0.249.78.

   1) On line 154 that starts with “D.innerHTML”, remove the src attribute from the img element.
   2) Right after the same D.innerHTML statement, type:
   document.getElementById(“shTopImg”).src = shutterLinks[ln].link;

   The issue has to do with Google Chrome and an image’s onload attribute. The problem is fixed by stating the source after declaring the onload attribute. Maybe Google Chrome’s V8 Javascript Engine is too fast for its own good?

   Google Chromium 5.0.x does not exhibit this problem… So this fix won’t be needed when updates get pushed out.

   If a patch can be issued it would be great. I couldn't find exactly where to apply this fix myself. If someone else did it and can upload their shutter reloaded js file to share with us, that would be awesome

   This problem has been fixed with the latest BETA version of Chrome. As of 2/8/2010, the latest stable version of Chrome is 4.***. The latest BETA version is 5.0.317.2 Beta. You can download from Google at http://www.google.com/landing/chrome/beta/. I could not get it to install from there for some reason, so I used FileHippo http://www.filehippo.com/download_google_chrome/. I have tested my NextGEN Gallery and it works fine now, does not get stuck on "loading".

   @kingwm: Thank you a million times. And thanks too for the FileHippo link as that is the only one that worked. Now we can VERY happily get back to using NextGen... we have sure missed it.

    You can find the file in: "nextgen-gallery/shutter/" and it's called shutter-reloaded.js

    I tried applying steps 1.) and 2.) as posted by remotay but I wasn't successful.

    @Remotay: I think you were refering to the following piece of code:

    D.innerHTML = '<div id="shWrap"><img src="'+shutterLinks[ln].link+'" id="shTopImg" title="' + t.msgClose + '" onload="shutterReloaded.showImg();" onclick="shutterReloaded.hideShutter();" />' + NavBar +'</div>';

    Could you or someone please post the correct code with changes made from steps 1. and 2. please?

    Thank you.

    Same problem here...www.AbsolutePolishing.com...freezing in Chrome...looks good though...

    One thing...can you add a small bit of text that says "To Exit: Click on the Picture"

    Several people have told me the only way to get out of the viewer was to click back...over and over, until they got back to the main page. They didn't realize that clicking on the pic would exit them...it does seem counterintuitive.

    Pressing "ESC" should also bring a person back out of the viewer. Something in the upper corner that says, "Press ESC to exit" would be great!

    Great plugin Alex, I'm having this same or a similar problem which may be being exacerbated by the other admin of the site being tech-naive and uploading every picture at huge sizes (one was 6k by 8k px? what the hell? so users start clicking before everything loads maybe) the solution here might help me.

    But what I'm really posting for is to complain about all the jack-@$$es who b1tch that you don't immediately (and for free) solve their problems. There is one on every thread for NextGEN. To them I say: try paying Alex if you want better support, this software comes without any guarantees, unless you pay for them, thousands of people use this plugin (for free) and Alex does an amazing job giving the support that he does. It's open source, if it doesn't work the way you want, you are supposed to fix it and give Alex the patch.

    Sorry about the rant, maybe I'm the jerk, but it really seems to me that you go out of your way to give support to non-paying users and for that you deserve our gratitude, even if you can't jump on every little problem.
