Description
I don't like the fixed number of thumbnails underneath the single image view. If I have less images then thumbnails I see duplicate thumbnails. This doesn't make any sense which can easily be fixed.
Please do not show more thumbnails then there are images.
You can fix this by getting the actual number of images and min(nr_actual_images, nr_thumbnails_setting), then also mention it with the setting so users will know. You can also add an option that does this when enabled.

If you have 5 thumbnails set, you need to upload at least 2 for them to show correctly. I doubt many people will have single picture albums.
In v1.2, which will be released soon, you'll be able to turn thumbnails off entirely as a component.

Actually I have three current projects that would use Gallerix if it were not for this limitation. These are sites for visual artists which use Galleries to show their work. There should be one gallery for each work of art but some will only need one picture while others have need for more perspectives. I know this could be accomplished with another content type for the single images but simplicity and user friendlyness is a must here so one content type for this is better than two.

Hmm. Fair enough. How about if there are not enough pictures to fill the thumbnails, simply don't display thumbnails at all? Would that work?
