    Dear Mr. Sayontan Sinha,
    Thanks a tonne for a great Plugin. However, I want to make a couple of serious suggestions.

    You see, Photonic picks up all Photos from a Google Photos Album perfectly fine. But the trouble is that it picks up everything from that album including Movies and Videos which is not required at all. If you see my above website then you will know what I mean. The Video thumbnails are also showing up along with the rest of the Photos.

    And to fix this, if you teach Photonic to pick up only Photos then you might as well teach it to pick up say only the “Landscape Photos” or say only the “Portrait Photos” instead of just all Photos because these differently oriented Photos are causing huge gaps on the Website when a Portrait Photos is displayed.

    Thanks

    Unless I am missing something, is this not a duplicate of your previous post? I had responded to that post with examples as to how all of this is already in Photonic.

    Dear Mr. Sayontan Sinha,

    I am so sorry for I didn’t know that I had to come here to check the replies. I thought the reply would come to my regular mail and that’s why I wrote again.

    I tried all of what you taught me and it all works. However, Photonic, all of his own volition, crops vertical images in that case, which is sad. I therefore chose Justified Grid (JG) which works best in every respect because the page loads faster and the viewer can click to start the Slideshow without any loss of image. But that JG has another problem. The tiled Grid becomes too big. Can I not define the size of the Grid? Can I not have more pictures crammed together in a smaller Grid? You see, as it is the viewer clicks to see the Slideshow in this case then why not have a smaller Grid?

    I have only one property listing listed on my other newer Domain https://www.ppix.tv on the Residential Lease page. But see how long the page has become with only one listing. I need to add at least a dozen more. With such a large Grid the viewer may not know that I’ve got many other listings below unless he scrolls. Instead, he should get to see many Grids at a glance.

    Sir, I am terribly sorry. How could I forget that after all you are an IITian. You have thought of every possibility and created Photonic. What I wanted you already have through Multiple Albums option. I should’ve studied Photonic in full depth before I wrote to you here. Sorry! My Bad! I am now forever going to buy you a coffee since what you’ve created resolves all my problems. But I can only afford to buy it every month. Hope you pardon me for that. I am a small time Estate Agent trying to make it big but haven’t been there as yet. Sorry!
