Feature configuration


Open config.xml in notepad or similar to alter the following elements:



<configlowrespopup>true</configlowrespopup>

true | false

If true, imageVue opens iteself(index.php) in a popup window with urlvars intact if user is on low resolution like 800x600 or lower. Allthough imageVue works fine on 800x600, user might get vertical scrollbar. If you rename index.php, are loading imageVue.swf into another SWF, or even loading imageVue by default into a popup window you will want to set this to false.



<configshowfolderdescriptions>true</configshowfolderdescriptions>


true | false

Toggles between showing imagefolder descriptions/attributes on imagefolder menuitem rollover. If set to false, no description is displayed.


<configshowmenu>true</configshowmenu>

true | false

Toggles between displaying the main menu. If set to false, imageVue will jump directly to the first imagefolder in the content directory. Or you can refer a folder directly to the url like: http://www.yourdomain.com/index.php?folder=content/artists/carsandcars/

Might come in handy if you want to hide the menu and jump directly to a specified imagefolder, or if you simply only have one imagefolder.
