Perfect for my needs

I tried many many gallery plugins including the well reviewed Envira and Modula. Simply blocks had the right level of features versus complexity for me and had a clean modern look and was pretty responsive. The questions I had while trying it out were answered very promptly by the developer so full marks there. The area for adjusting parameters is a narrow strip on the right and feels a little claustrophobic (a full screen parameter screen would be better but not a dealbreaker). The other thing I’d like is the ability to utilise tags from lightroom or capture one but the gallery plugins that provided that feature were much more deficient in many other respects. Overall , definitely the best gallery plugin I tried.
