I really think that a gallery should show at minimum the previous image and the next image in the set as a thumbnail. Look at flickr and you can see the next image and click it to advance. Would be nice to have a couple different blocks to set up to navigate through the gallery in a visual manner.
Ex Block:
[Image 1] - [Image 2 (Previous Image)] - [Image 3 (Current Image)] - [Image 4 (Next Image)] - [Image 5]
This way, when you are viewing a gallery, you can easily skip through to images that you want to see with ease. Perhaps you can specify how many images you want to show in the navigation.

greg.harveyI agree. Sounds like a good plan to me! I think I know how I'll do it too. Leave it with me... or alternatively, if you need it quicker then you can provide a patch. =)

jjjames commentedGreat! There is some info in the Using Drupal book. Here is their example:
http://gallery.usingdrupal.com/
You can see previous and next links on the left, but there are no thumbnails.
This would be sooo cool if you could figure it out :)

greg.harveyLooking at implementation... could be with a view, but I'd rather keep it as nodes and node templates. Thinking of loading the gallery view and only showing the node either side of the list of nodes, but need to look at the data and see if that's even feesible...
Any suggestions welcome.

greg.harveyCreated the previous/next links on images.
Created hook_block which loads the gallery as a block for gallery and image pages.
Will be in next snapshot. =)
