Gallery Pro settings and photo information
Once your photos appear using the setup guide, adjust the layout and information. This reference covers settings and display behavior.
Basic settings
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Path | Empty | Folder relative to /_gallery/; empty means that folder itself, and works means /_gallery/works/ |
| Delimiter | | (a space on each side of the vertical bar) | Separates language versions of titles, descriptions, and copyright information |
| Segment | 1 | Which separated segment to display, from 1 through 9 |
| Sort | Name ↑ | Sorts by filename ID or shooting date/time, in ascending or descending order |
| Layout | Justified | Grid, Masonry, Justified, or Square |
| Crop Ratio | 3:2 | Crop ratio for Grid; Square always uses 1:1 |
| Columns | 2,3,4,5 | Column counts below 576px, at 576–767px, at 768–991px, and at 992px or wider; not used by Justified |
| Row Height | 240 | Target row height for Justified, in pixels; actual height adjusts to photo aspect ratios |
| Gutter | 8 | Space between photos, in pixels |
For example, store Morning Light | 朝の光 in a title, description, or copyright field. A page with Segment set to 1 displays the English text; a page with Segment set to 2 displays the Japanese text. Enter translations in the photo metadata in advance. This is not an automatic translation feature.
Photo information and the lightbox
Titles, descriptions, and copyright information are read from metadata such as XMP and IPTC. Shooting details are read from metadata such as EXIF. Information is not displayed if the photo does not contain it. If a title is missing, the filename without its extension is used.
Hover Overlay lets you choose whether to display the title, description, shooting year, copyright information, and EXIF. Lightbox → Frame offers two options: Overlay places information over the photo, while Fit places it below the photo. For each caption item, you can adjust its order, font, size, style, alignment, and color. For EXIF, choose which items to display (camera, lens, focal length, aperture, shutter speed, and ISO) and the separator between them.
| Action | Result |
|---|---|
| Click a photo | Opens it in the lightbox |
| Left/right buttons or arrow keys | Moves to the previous or next photo |
| Close or Esc | Closes the lightbox |
| Mouse wheel | Zooms in or out |
| Double-click | Toggles between actual size and zoomed view |
| Drag while zoomed in | Moves the photo within the view |
The Bric also includes swipe and pinch handling, but these require checking on the touch devices you intend to use. After replacing photos, reload the page to update the listing. There is no automatic polling or browser-based interface for managing and uploading photos.
