Gallery "load more" button?

Hope the question isn't entirely too noob...

When customizing the home page and adding galleries it's possible to set the paging to either scroll or click. When selecting click it is then possible to limit the amount of galleries loaded and have a "load more" button to get more galleries.

My question is...
In a gallery when setting the appearance gallery style to "collage portrait/landscape" is it possible to do the same?
For one particular gallery I would like to have the load more button and not automatically load photos when scrolling.
Primarily because some clients have slow connections and when scrolling the photos can load slow with no indication of more photos being loaded (other than the browser spinner which none of them notice).

    I am so sorry but the you can't set the "load more" button. The system will set it automatically. I may be mistaken but i think it loads around 50 at a time. Please accept our humble apology for any problems this causes you.

    The only way to do that is to rename/hide the gallery, and in its place put a new Page. On the Page, drop a "multiple photos" block on there which uses the gallery as a source. Now you can set whatever display options you like on this multiple photos block.

    It's not perfect, but it works.

    works pretty good for a 5 min effort :ivar

    here's the page I created just in case you are curious :-) (it's volunteer work with no $$ to be made for me. Little critters made a bit though )
