 * Messaga to Daniel, hopefully someone else feels this is valuable as well:
 * Simply fantastic plugin, what I have been looking for ages to improve the navigation
   on my portfolio page. Works brilliantly with the WP 3.5.1 but I have some issues
   what actually stop me from using it.
 * 1. It is really bad that the images are cropped or expanded to fill the navigation
   window, as I have images with quite different aspect ratio and they are either
   cut off or expanded depending on the orientation. Could you incorporate just 
   a one dimension when setting gallery – the width of gallery and the height would
   be automatically adjusted based on the image height, keeping the proportions 
   of the image. Also the portrait oriented images should be centrally aligned within
   the window.
 * Here is the example of my current gallery page, main drawback is the lack of 
   the one click navigation and proper filmstrip – but I use that because it can
   handle easily images with different aspect ratios.

 * And here is the test page with the Gallery Reloaded, which really distorts the
   same images by stretching / cropping them.

 * 2. Also, a really nice to have feature would be option to have 2 row filmstrip–
   it gives better navigation on the larger screens and people tend to focus on 
   the pictures what are readily available and not around the corner.
 * If you could implement my request 1., which is really the deal-breaker at the
   moment stopping me to use the gallery, then I would be eternally grateful and
   also will happily donate for the maintenance and further development of the gallery.
 * All the best,
    Kaur
