    hi dalton,
    i have to say this plugin is sheer genius and it’s saved us hours of manual hell!

    i just have a question.. you see, before the first image loads (fades in), nothing happens, which misleads users into thinking nothing is going to appear.. until the image fades in.

    is there a way to remove the fadeIn(); so that users can see the image loading, or at least a way to define a border around the area so that the user can expect that something is going to load in that space?

    of course the ideal solution would be to add a preloader but a faster solution could be to remove fadeIn(); or add a border.. which i have no idea how to do.. any ideas?

    thanks in advance!

    The new version has been uploaded to the repository, should be available soon. Please let me know if 0.5.7 fixes the problem for you!

    Hi Dalton,

    Thanks for the great plugin first of all! I was looking for a slideshow that allowed a fade in at the beginning, which led me to this post. I read bluebeard’s first post and coincidentally that’s actually what i need. My clients wanted their intro image to fade in but unfortunately there wasn’t a simple enough js code that wouldn’t conflict with other plugins in their site. That, plus easy maintenance, caused me to try out your plugin, but unfortunately the fade in described by Bluebeard no longer happens. Is there no way to gain that effect in the newest version? (0.6.0). From what I read it seems that it’s something that needed to be fixed, but it would actually do what I’d like! Any info on this would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi KD,
    If you enable the “Show loading animation” setting and delete the actual loading animation GIF file (or if you’re feeling proper you could just change the CSS to not use the background image), then you should get the same effect.

    Hi Dalton,

    Thanks for your response. I tried enabling the loading animation then deleting the gif file from the lib/images folder however the fading still does not occur. Rather, the image just pops up. Am I missing something you think? If it helps, other settings are: Autoplay Timeout is set to 0, Transition Speed is 400, nav=false. Those are about the only settings I’ve changed. I’m also on WP 3.0.4 (fresh install). The same thing happens on both Firefox and Safari on a mac. I appreciate your time on this!

    Ah, my mistake, I was thinking about an earlier version of the code. You actually want to change line 84:

    echo '$(\'div.slideshow-wrapper\').css(\'visibility\',\'visible\');';

    to this

    echo '$(\'div.slideshow-wrapper\').fadeIn();';

    Hi Dalton,

    Do you mean to disregard the previous solution as well? I replaced that line in portfolio-slideshow.php but it caused the image to not show up at all. Sorry for the trouble on this.
