Looking for gallery plugin that does what I need it to do

Hey everyone,

I’ve been searching the interwebz for a plugin that allows me to do something that I would believe to be quite simple.

I’m making a portfolio website, and would like to use images (or thumbnails) to link to specific pages of my portfolio. Just using images with the title above them in a table-style manner does not provide enough responsiveness. So I tried NextGen Gallery. Okay, so now I have a responsive set of thumbnails. The GIF I would have liked to use does not work as the thumbnail is written to JPEG, but that’s not the biggest issue…

I can’t link the thumnails to the pages… there was a workaround for this for earlier versions but not the new ones. So now I’m looking for ANY plugin (that at least has a free version with the functions I need, I’m not too shabby to pay for stuff but I want to be SURE it does what I need before I pay for anything.

– Responsive grid of images. Responsive scaling would be great, but just moving stuff down as the space becomes to small will do for now.
– Linking to pages, not the lightbox.
– GIF support would be great, but not a hard must.

Doesn’t seem like a tall order, right?

Does anyone know of a plugin that wil make me happy?

Cheers!
