There have been some great RSS enhancements in the latest version of Simple Gallery (02.02.00+). You can view all of the enhancements live on the demonstration page.
Activate the IE7 RSS toolbar
The first enhancement is the highlighting of the IE7 toolbar with the list of feeds on a simple gallery page.
Enhanced Description
The next enhancement provides much more detail in the RSS description. This includes the description, a thumbnail image and a list of hyperlinked tags.
Enclosure Support
Attachments are now included as enclosures. This allows advanced RSS clients to optionally download the full images to a client.
List Extensions
List extensions allow advanced RSS clients to add advanced filter/sorting functionality to any RSS feed. The RSS feed describes what elements are sortable or filtered. In the case of Simple Gallery, we allow you to filter by tags or album.
If you are using IE7, you can view a live example here. Below is a screenshot of the sidebar from IE7.
We hope you like the changes!
