Add Slideshow Format Options (js, Flash, Html5)
Author: Christopher B.I could not agree more with the other users on the Flash slideshows, there needs to at least be a JS option until HTML5 is ready to fully take over. I use a slideshow as the main feature window on my website (Kind of an easy way to make a viewable menu without all the code) and now I won't be able to make the jump to programming in Evo 9 because I don't want to risk losing the main element of my page with all of my readers using iPhones and iPads or other Apple devices.
Please build in an option that let's us choose the slide show type, be it JS, Flash, or HTML 5. I know this is a work in progress, but a simple addition like this on the next update would alleviate A LOT of pain for a lot of people. An option this powerful would further set Website x5 apart from the other programs on the market. It would even allow people to test the compatibility of this HTML5 element in the real world.
Until this is fixed, the $99 USD I spent on Evo 9 will be wasted as I must continue to use Evo 8. Please fix ASAP!

Hello Chris,
We're working on it and we're planning to add more HTML5 support. Actually, we're planning to add more JS too as a fallback for HTML5.
In the current version, you can use a JS gallery (like the vertical or horizontal miniatures) which enlarges the images in an internal popup like lightbox.
Hi All !
I notice, Chris, that your WX5 website (Rocksposure) run on v.8.0.9 !! Why not update to 8.0.16 before use the V9 if you want to convert your project later ?

Good catch! I just need to run the update, I uninstalled it when I put 9 on to make sure the installation went well. I will most likely give it an update tonight before I push my next upload.
When I actually converted the project, it was based off of 8.0.16. I'm keeping the converted Evo 9 version in a testing mode until these bugs are worked out
Thanks for the responses!
Half the world use mobile devices to look at websites all the time so this version should be up to date enough to cater for them but it really doesnt due to the amount of flash objects which nearly all mobile devices cant display.
