how would this be done? If there was a way to make a views list of the pictures, then you could put them in a linghtbox. that would seem like an interesting idea. perhaps expose the pics to plug into some other kind of gallery. your example just shows pics... also, how about adding somekind of FUpload feature and a way to include title and description to the pics?

This sort of thing is way on the back-burner, but thanks for the suggestions. If someone can devise a way to create a nice little JS carousel or something, that would be awesome! Patches gratefully received, as always. Don't hold your breath if you're waiting for me to make it... ;-)

which is the part that is on the back burner?
and would youhave some ides on how to do it.
I was thinking of a jquery kind of thing. It would do a slide show but also show some attached text fields. perhaps themeable?
if you have some directional thought, that would be interesting.
My thought is that there is no way to bring the images in mass into the site and have them exposed to the views module. you have that part done. now, if I can create the views/slide show part...

Um, all of it. I'm moving house right now and silly busy. ;-)

I currently have some template preprocess code that loads the gallery view as raw data and selects an image either side of current to the Next/Previous links. I imagine you could extend that or change the Next/Prev interface to use AJAX/JQuery instead of straight HTML like it does now.

can I see the code? perhaps I can do something with that. I am working on something like this myself.

I'm not going to code anything for this. Perhaps look at some Views additions. For example:
http://drupal.org/project/views_slideshow

There are more.
