Whoops - my categories are gone as well 

Oh, sorry - the categories list was just collapsed. Hmm, did SYXtra do that?

Are the enlarged image previews supposed to work on the thumbnails inside the widgets as well (Latest Uploads, Features...)?

I learn something every day! Didn't know I could collapse/uncollapse image categories here. Guess I have to tweak my css again as this feature is completely hidden unless you click in the right spot.

So is this a SYXtra feature? Or did it come unnoticed with some SYS update? Is there a way to have the categories uncollapsed by default?

Glad you like it

Similars are described in the help here: http://stock.imagerion.com/syxtra/thumbnails-widget-help/

In short - putting widget on image page and checking the Display Similars will show you similar images RELATED to that active, 100% similars are available only by using the Master Tag (see my site)

Maybe I should change the name, help page about the Master Tag will show up soon.

Categories are collapsed for search to show the pics not the list. I understand you may not like it that way, so the planned feature to disable or change the behaviour moved up on the list.

I'd also appreciate an option to "collapse/uncollapse" the categories.

On my site it's an integral part that I need to be visible by default.

I just saw that my categories also don't show on my author page:

http://stockphoto-images.com/author/admin/?r=http://stockphoto-images.com

Once I deactivate the plugin everything is ok.

Oh and I noticed that when I access an image using the enlarged preview when hovering over the thumbnails function, the image on the "product" page appears to leaded twice. It flickers for a moment. This happens with every image page I pick. Once the plugin is turned off the images load normal and don't flicker anymore.

Just an observation. No idea if this is intentional.

Thanks for your clarification.

I will play with Display Similars. How does search order (e.g. random) work with Display Similars checked? Shouldn't similars get ordered by degree of similarity (however that is measured)?

I don't even know yet if I like the collapsed categories or not. So it's definitely no biggie. I am not going to deactivate your plug-in because of that. I like the mouseover previews too much. 
It is just that I worked in my own solution for this problem spot. I changed the text of the theme and added a local link for jumping down to the network results. Now with your plugin and collapsed categories my solution looks somewhat silly . I'll have to think about this and see what I'll do here. Some option to change the behavior would be appreciated in any case. 

Edited:
Yes, Categories on my Author Page are gone as well. I guess this must be an unintended side-effect called a BUG!!!   

Got the information, everything will be fine

Pirang, I'm working with SYxtra this weekend. Nice features!

Stupid question probably but... can you tell me what the "Master TAG" is that's needed for every image? Do I create that, and if so what should it be? Or is it something that's already available (but I just haven't found)?

I'd appreciate guidance on that.  Thanks so much.

Few words about the Master Tag concept in the [!SYXtra Thumbnails widget]

Thank you, Plrang, for providing that extra help with the plugin. I appreciate it!

Now, duh... I do have one more question about this line: "Tip: This tag must exist in your regular tags also."

So, uh, duh... is the "tag" in this context the same thing as a "keyword"? If that's not it, please tell this non-developer what a "tag" is.

yes, tag = keyword, sorry... I just got used to it , gonna update, thanks for the feedback

OK. That's great. I just needed to make sure.

Thanks, Plrang, for the info AND for the plugin. It's working nicely for me.

I installed the plugin but all I got was a bunch of straight cornered stacked thumbnails. Nothing fancy. I deleted it again. Maybe I did something wrong.

Ron, plugin uses only the clean&fresh Symbiostock Theme and an empty child theme, so it must be something you've changed.

After you install the plugin on a clean SYS it looks exactly like my site,
there are 23 active plugins.

just updated to latest version - on my image page, the large previews work great for 'similars', but that doesn't work for my category pages -- do I need to add something to activate it there?

Going to check out your site #Cascoly
Just uploaded 1.9.5

I see you already did

I found one issue but it's not what you pointed out, could you put a link ?

http://cascoly-images.com/pix/image-type/penguins-images/

no large preview on images from listing of category or from search:

http://cascoly-images.com/pix/?s=penguin&post_type=image

Well.. I see some amazing penquins on large previews .. not sure where is the problem.. maybe refresh the page/cache, in your browser?

1.9.6 is online - there was a tiny issue, but not related to that one from @cascoly
I still see large penguins

yes - it was a cache problem - refreshed the cache, and now all the images show the large preview

Hi Plrang,

I just enable the big image preview, it work fine and look good at PC, but in iphone the big preview image is being cropped. Is it possible to auto disable this big preview when detected user is using mobile etc?

yes @pling, it's on the list
