There's a upcoming patch #796658: UI for field formatter settings which could help with formatter settings (I talk about it at #dckiev2010)

Also there's a interesting project http://drupal.org/project/galleryformatter that could be merged with this project!

Oops, didnt read this issue before i posted #827920: Great initiative, let's unite!... I think we should consider for D7 a couple of things:

1. Keep output methods as separate projects on d.org for keeping the api codebase small.
2. I'm unsure how output method modules request the number of diferent imagecache presets (styles in d7) they need, but I think we should provide a way for them to specify it in the hook implementation, since different output methods will require different presets, some no thumbnails, some might want to link to a different preset for viewing the full image, etc.

Let's bug every module that implements galleries to this project.
Let's do some architectural thinking on here to do it right before porting, ideas everyone?

Note that the UI for formatter settings has been committed.

Also, I have ported galleryformatter to d7, if you'd like to see how things work now. http://drupal.org/node/832822

We should all get together in the upcoming drupalcon to discuss at the architectural level, and hack a bit to figure out how we should go about this on D7.

Are you guys coming? maintainers? andypost?

Please also see this proposition on galleryformatter's issue queue: #862504: More formatters.

Great, it works :) but css-styles should be reworked a bit. mostly when no arrows.
Suppose you need a setting to place thumbs at top|bottom of image, also when no style selected screen looks ugly

PS: Sorry, I cant come to dc

Have you had a look at Media Gallery module. It has some nice ideas, but it would be great if all these different formatters could be used with it.
