[Plugin: NextGEN Monoslideshow] Not enough info before purchase

I’m discovering Nextgen and I love it. Thanks for it, Alex.
However, I’m pasting here below my (last) post and reply from the Monoslideshow forum (on their website).
Now I have given up but I really think you should inform us more about the limitations of this plugin, Alex. Limitations and/or difficulties for people who are not greatly skilled in coding (like me). It’s not like it was free.
Finally I’m using Scroll Gallery (and very happy with it) but I wasted 25$ yeaterday (+ so many hours !). Really annoys me !

My post (yesterday)

This is a great looking plugin ! And the customization system with the demo is great too ! However, I’m mainly a graphist and not very knowledgeable in coding and there are a few things missing which to me are rather essential. Because of those, unfotunately, Monoslideshow doesn’t suit the needs of my present clients although they very much like the look of it. Isn’t that sad ?
The environment I work with is WordPress. I tested Monoslideshow with Nextgen.

So here are my very hopeful suggestions (the ones I personally find essential) :

Taking image width/height proportions into account (as it is now, it’s really annoying for portrait images). I managed to get around it with reworking my portrait images so they lay on a well sized background but it’s definitely not a suitable solution when you have lots of images to show or when your clients (that’s my case) are meant to enter their images themselves – I can’t ask them to do that !
Possibility to link images to their source when clicked (or right cliced), Itwould open the original image in a new window OR ELSE add a download button within the control bar…
Before I bought the plugin yesterday, I checked this forum post –> http://www.monoslideshow.com/forum/discussion/425/can-i-add-links-to-each-image-in-the-slide-show/#Item_2 I trusted that it would work but I got stuck and learnt still through the fourm that the manual is not really meant for the WordPress/Nextgen environment, so I must say I felt a little cheated…
Possibility to enter HTML in image description, especially for links (like a link to a photographer’s web page, for instance)

I really hope those improvements can be made some day because it’s such a great plugin apart from those !
Also, It’d be nice to clearly announce those limitations before people buy the plugin, both on the Monoslideshow website and on the plugin WordPress page.

The guy called Jarredja’s reply (this morning)

Except for the portrait issue, your issues all lie in the monoslideshow-nextgen plugin ( written by another author ) not monoslideshow itself. If you can get the php correct to write the proper XML it will all work as if you had actually written the XML file. Monoslideshow is not at fault here( except for the portrait issue ).

Edit: the HTML link in the text is another limitation of monoslideshow. The link can be applied to the image though just not with the current nextgen plugin.
