My wish list

It's a shame that some features from the old smugmug appears to be missing now - this is a list of things I'd like to allow me to have what I had on my old site.
1. Larger thumbnails in galleries. You can do this on folder pages, but not in galleries. I don't think this was available as standard before, but with Javascript customisations I created my own 'Collage Portrait' with bigger photos.
2. Photo titles within the photo on 'Collage Portrait' on galleries. You can do this on folder pages, but not on galleries. This makes Collage Portrait look terrible - bad default and you can't change it.
3. More info on folder pages. I used to have access to the Name and Description of a gallery in a Category page, and categories and sub categories would also have some text like '36 galleries with 2000 photos'. I can't see this anywhere now, just the name of the folder or gallery, with an icon next to it.
4. Combined sub folder and gallery view. It's great that on folder pages you can swap out the individual components for folders, galleries and pages for a single component that combines them all - but I can't get the ordering right at all. In the organiser you can't move the sub folder - and using the added or modified order isn't working for me either. Again this was something I handled myself before with Javascript.
If I have missed anything and anyone knows a solution to any of the above that would be great.
I've still got a lot of CSS work to do to get it close to my design, which isn't easy in places, it doesn't look like the classes and structure was really designed to be tweaked by users.
