Below, we have compiled a list of notable features for the Imagevue X2 gallery.
Flash Image gallery
Of course, the main flagship is the Imagevue X2 flash image gallery. Tons of gallery features! - Best thing is to check out the demo gallery and see for yourself: default theme, firestarter, gardener, bluedragon, abyss, white, zanzibar, persimmon. All features can be changed through the online admin configuration section.
Administration panel
Through the Imagevue X2 admin panel, you are provided total management of your gallery. You can create folders and upload files seamlessly from the management page, although this is possible also by FTP. The admin panel also allows you to edit titles, descriptions, create textpages, change sorting, rename, delete, hide, move, copy and set previewimages. Moreover, you can change- and edit your themes, manage the main settings/configuration and change- or edit the languages. Check out the Imagevue X2 admin demo - Login as guest/guest.
Optional HTML gallery
With the Imagevue X2 flash gallery, we also provide an optional HTML gallery. Some users may prefer to use the HTML gallery, while others may simply use it as an option to the flash gallery. The HTML gallery will function as a tool for indexing your gallery at google and other search engines. It can be entirely customized by CSS. See demo of the HTML gallery here, and here with lightbox.
Extensive customization
The Imagevue X2 gallery comes with extensive configuration through the config- and theme files. Change colors, background, fonts, visual properties of features, enable- or disable features, change interactivity. You have full control of configuration and themes from the admin panel!
Themes
Imagevue X2 comes with many preset themes to choose from. You can also edit any of the existing themes, or even create your own! Check out some of the themes here: default, white, gardener, abyss, firestarter, bluedragon, zanzibar, persimmon. We will be adding more themes in future releases.
Audioplayer
Imagvue X2 comes with an audioplayer feature that compliments the pictures in your gallery! Simply upload your choice of mp3 files, and the audioplayer will play the audio tracks for your visitors. The audioplayer module supports playlist, volume, controls and ID3 tags. It can be set to play tracks from a specific mp3 folder, or it can play tracks for each gallery folder. See a demo of the audioplayer in our X2 demo gallery - Roll your mouse over the "audio" feature in top right corner and click around.
File support
Imagevue X2 supports a multitude of files - It will display the core image formats JPG, PNG, GIF aswell as SWF(flash) and FLV(video). You can also use any other format for example DOC, PDF, HTML, QT, but these formats will open in new browser windows as they are not supported native in flash.

CSS stylesheet text formatting

See examples of various CSS stylesheets in action here: default theme, gardener theme, firestarter theme. The CSS stylesheets can be edited from the admin panel, or you can edit it manually like any other CSS file.

Unlimited menu/folder structure
Add as many folder levels as you require to create your gallery structure! Some galleries may only need to display a few image folders on the top level, while other galleries may require a deep folder structure to categorize all their archives. There is no limit, and the choice is yours. You can create folders either by FTP or by using the admin panel. You can also build custom links in your main menu, turning your gallery into an independent website! See an example of the menu- and folder structure in our gallery demo.
Language and localization
Imagevue X2 already supports multiple languages - See a few examples: Swedish, German, Japanese, English, Chinese, Finnish, Arabic, Dutch, French, Hungarian, Italian, Latin, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Turkish. If you want to add another language, it can easily be done from the admin panel! X2 also supports any character encoding, so international character sets will display without flaws.
Titles and descriptions
Create titles and descriptions for your files, and choose how you want to display them! Combine your descriptions with preset items like EXIF, date, dimensions, filesize etc.
Display EXIF data
Serious photographers may want to display jpg EXIF data along with their image. Imagevue X2 supports EXIF data in descriptions, and you can customize what EXIF items to display and how to display them! See an EXIF example here.

Deep-linking and browser navigation
Unlike most other flash websites, the Imagevue X2 flash gallery supports deep-linking and browser navigation. This means the URL in your browser changes as you navigate through the gallery. It also gives the possibility to send the link(copy+paste) directly to someone by email or MSN, and they will see the same page or image as you see. Another benefit, is that it allows the visitor to use the native next/previous buttons in the browser to navigate through the gallery. It can of course be disabled for gallery owners who want to hide the URL paths in their gallery.You can see this feature in effect by visiting our imagevue X2 demo gallery - Click around and see how the URL field changes, and try using the next/previous browser buttons for navigation. This feature is provided through the SWFAddress javascript, and it will also allow your gallery to work with google analytics.
