Hey Manntis,
your theme function dp_attachment_image fails to state which order to use.
try adding an order by clause to your array

'post_type' => 'attachment',
		'numberposts' => 1,
		'post_mime_type' => 'image',
'order_by' => 'menu_order',
'order' => 'ASC')

HTH

You might want to try the plugin SuperSlider-Media-Pop

**New Features v1.1**

**Features**

* Add Attachments in this post to your edit posts / page screen.
* Link your image to any sized pop over.
* Insert any image size available for the active image. (WP 3.0+)
* Access any superslider scaled image (ss-Show, ss-PNext, ss-Excerpt all offer custom image size creation.)WP 2.9
* Set the jpeg image quality of dynamically created image versions

That WordPress Media Library Plugin looks great, mixed with Faster Image Insert and superslider-media-pop which adds all available image sizes to the insert image panel.

Unfortunately the WordPress Media Library Plugin doesn’t work yet in WP version 3.0, at least not the de-attach function.

hello WilliamJames,
afraid plugin authors aren’t notified of forum posts or I would have replied sooner.
To personalize any superslider plugin, move the folder, plugin-data from the plugin folder to the wp-content folder , then edit the related css file inside. The move is to prevent plugin updates from over writing any changes you may make to the css.

Hello,
For nextgen using server resources; there may be an sql random issue.
Beyond that you’ll want to ask the developer.
As a quick cure, do set the default theme for 24 hours to check server load.

As for migrating nextgen.
There is a plugin (sorry, can’t think of the name.) which imports from a folder/folders of images and creates an attachment with each image. This attachment is now part of the WP system, and will automatically create all image versions defined in your system. I make plugins which add image versions so as well as sizes: thumbnail, medium, large, original, You may also have: minithumb, slideshow, excerpt.

There are numerous plugins for migrating images, have a search.
I could never understand the need for nextgen. But it seams to fulfill a need.

Either way you go, have a look at superslider-show for a slideshow solution. Works with nextgen and without.

superslider-show is now a replacement for NextGen Smooth Gallery.

try this plugin instead superslider-show

Try deactivating the plugin then reactivating it.
this should upgrade the options settings for nextgen.
backup your database first.
