You may use:
a folder path in SupersizedDir (in this case, the options will be the general ones)

OR

the path to an xml file containing options AND list of images.

As indicated in the description of the Show captions option, captions are extracted from the IPTC caption field of the image file.
I am not totally sure (I need to study NextGen a bit more) but I think that NexGen stores its titles/alt in the WP database, not in the images themselves. But if your images contain an IPTC caption field, I think that it should still be there in the images managed by NextGen. Try adding a caption to your pictures in an image editing software.
A better integration with NextGen is something that I want to work on in the near future.
As mentioned in the FAQ of my plugin, in the case of the WP media gallery, the caption is taken from the field Caption that you can fill in in the media library. If this field is empty, the plugin will use the image Title which is filled in automatically with the filename.
So if you have set the options to show the Slideshow controls on together with the Slide caption, then you must see at least the filename of the image at the bottom left of the screen.

Please check that the glob() function is not disabled on your php installation. Please also check that the folder containing the images allows at least read access rights to all users.

WP Supersized 2.0 now allows you to choose the link that you want for each slide. To do this, you will have to create an xml file with the list of slides and links (also captions). Have a look at the FAQ for details.

This should be solved with version 1.5.

This is planned for the next major update.

There was a small mistake in the code of the theme of the Supersized jQuery plugin that I had corrected in the previous versions. I had forgotten to correct it in the latest update. This is now done and will be included in the next update that will be released very soon.

Sorry about the inconvenience.

Oops… I answered to your question with an answer to another one I had in mind! Sorry about that.
To come back to your question, you can find the supersized.shutter.js file here.

The trick that is used on the site you mention is to have html within the title of each image.
This is indeed possible with Supersized but not yet with my plugin as it gets the titles from the image captions.
I am currently working on a new version that will allow this through the use of xml files to define all options and image details for each post/page separately if desired.

Mark,
As I want full control of what happens with my pictures, I always use ftp (Filezilla) to upload my images to my website.
The current version of WP Supersized does not allow the use of the Media Gallery but I am working on a new version that will allow this. I will certainly also have a look at the interaction with NextGen.
It will also allow the use of xml files to define options separately for each post/page but also to have full control of the title and link for each image. This should also be helpful for users with particular WordPress installations that do not seem to be well recognized by my plugin so far.

Now,
I forgot to mention that I would really like to help you as I am a huge fan of Audrey Hepburn ??

Now,
I would need additional information to understand what is going wrong. In the options of WP Supersized, you could activate the debugging option and then send me (or post here) the variables contents that will then be present as comments in the slides list.

For those of you who would want to use Supersized in your own themes and need more info on how to integrate Supersized (the original jQuery plugin) in WordPress, you can take a look at my tutorial on this subject. Although it has been written when still using Supersized 3.1.3, it is still valid with the newer versions.

Mark,
Thanks for using WP Supersized in several sites. It is a pleasure to see that it can be so useful!

It seems that I have been too optimistic about the capabilities of the glob() function in php… I thought that it would always return the filenames in alphabetical order. But maybe it is not the case so I have now added a sort function in my code. It will be implemented in the next update, coming today probably.

I must confess that I do not know how NextGen is changing the order of the pictures. If this is through changing the filename, then this will be reflected in the alphabetical order of the slides filenames (at least in the upcoming new version). If not, then I will need to delve into the workings of NextGen to improve this.

It looks like you have a strange WordPress installation ??
When I connect to https://test.sethpartridge.com/Wordpress-Seth/, I get a ‘page not found’ page with WP Supersized working without problem (2 images from your wp-content/supersized-slides/slidesforpage4/ directory). But when I try https://test.sethpartridge.com or any other page of your site, only the default Supersized images are displayed, as if the plugin was unable to find your images, although everything seems to be fine when looking at the source.
I must say that I do not see immediatly a reason for this behaviour.
It looks almost as if you have two installs of WordPress on your site. One at the top level and another one inside your WordPress-Seth directory. Is this possible ? Can you give me more details about your WordPress installation ? (send me details at ben [at] worldinmyeyes.be)
The plugin finds the location of wp-content through the content_url() function, so if the constants WP_CONTENT_DIR or WP_CONTENT_URL in wp-config.php do not match the actual location of the folder, it cannot find it. This could be related also to the problem.

I have noticed that I have forgotten to remove a few debug lines that I had added in my code for version 1.2.2. (fighting a bad case of flu does not help in having clear ideas…). They should have no influence on the working of the plugin but this could actually be helpful to understand what is going on:
Open you web page and have a look at the source of the page. Within the ‘slides’ part of the Supersized plugin, you will see a list of variables displayed as comments. Please copy the content of the variables and arrays in there and send them to me (contact form on my website) or post it here. It will help me understand what could be the issue.
