Yes thanks very much - just set this up. Wish there were some transitions - 
something else I liked in MythGallery. 

I also tried installing just MythGallery but it finds (cool!) and requires 
a connection to (not so cool) my backend which is too old for the latest 
frontend release. Would be nice to just have that code without the backend 
connection.
