    Using the latest NextGEN Gallery 3.0 and attempting to edit a thumbnail has a confusing interface. When the desired area is selected and Update button is clicked, the message that says something like Thumbnail Updated is outside the window area below the button. I got on to it by noticing the scroll bar appearing and then disappearing. The preferred way of doing this, in my opinion, is to make the message appear either next to the button and not disappear after a second or two, or to replace the button with the message that should remain visible. If a new selection is made, the button should appear again.

    My two cents worth.

    Thank you, @acekin, we really appreciate the feedback! I’ll pass this along to the team… would you mind providing a screenshot that I can share along with your feedback just to make sure that what you’re seeing is the same as on our own sites?

    Thanks again, @acekin!

    Hey @acekin, Erick here. Good to hear from you and thanks for the input. As Becky noted, a screenshot would be great – we think you may be seeing something slightly different from us. I will say that, regardless, we already know that we need better confirmation/messaging on the edit thumbnail, as well as rotate and resize, pop-up. The message appears quickly and is gone. It’s easy to miss that something actually happened. It’s just a small detail we didn’t quite get too for the big release, but it’s on our radar now.

    I’ll be glad to provide a screen capture, actually a video capture so you can see the scrollbar appear and then disappear. Here is the link to the video, it will happen twice as I change the crop area and update again:

    The computer is a Microsoft Surface Book, 3000 x 2000 with elements magnified 200% which is the default setting.

    @acekin, that helps a great deal, thank you. The confirmation notice is actually displaying lower than expected in your video (it’s not showing that way for us in our testing). That may be device related. I’ll pass this on to our team and we’ll take a closer look. As Erick mentioned, this is already on our radar and we have it on our agenda to improve the confirmation message and placement. 🙂 Thank you for your help!

    Glad to be of help. That window is not even resizeable. My former programming and user interface design experience is coming handy!
