The documentation and tutorials provided are for the most part excellent, however there are a couple of issues that delayed my implementation. The the tutorial fails to mention setting security on the ASPNET worker account if you are using .NET for the image resizing component. This is documented elsewhere, but be sure to read the online documentation thoroughly and do the tutorial. Secondly, the admin portion of the gallery did not function over https://, at least on my server setup. An email to George Petrov quickly resolved the issue. Overall my impression of the customer support is that it is excellent. Given the great time difference between Bulgaria and Arizona, where I live, having a reply within 24 hours is appreciated.
My only complaint involves the parameter setup for Flash Album Generator, which is used in conjunction with Dynamic Flash Gallery, as well as the parameter setup for the gallery itself. Other extensions that I have used read the parameters so that if you run the extension a second time, the parameters appear in the dialog boxes. With this extension, you need to edit the xml or asp files that are generated to change parameters such as background color or gallery data path. Also it would be nice to be able to recall the parameters for the Flash Album Generator, modify them, and then have the option not to generate the images and thumbnails (since they may be fine the first time).
There are 2 improvements I would like to see:
I find the product an excellent way to add a visually appealing and powerful way to maintain images. This saved me several days of hand-rolling a gallery maintenance page. Having the ability to upload and automatically resize and create thumbnails of a given size limitation will save my client many hours of time, as previously he had to do all of this manually. The display of the gallery itself is also visually appealing, using Flash, much more so that using HTML.
Overall I would rate this combination of Dynamic Flash Gallery and Album Generator a 4 out of 5. Addition of the search function and database connectively would complete the product, in my opinion.

If your users have a Mac they will be angry that they cannot upload images. This has been this way for a long time (+1 year) and there is no response or support from DMX zone.
Works as expected on a PC.
No upload for Mac & No Support to offer help.
