Row layout with fixed height and dynamic width

[etchings13]

Fantastic plugin. I'm wondering if there's any way to include an option where each row would have a static height while the widths of the images would change dynamically? For example all images could be set at 300 pixels tall? The number of images in each row would then also be dynamic.

In fact Google Photos does something even more advanced. Within an album, each row might vary from 300-400 pixels tall (on my screen). The specific height of each row is automatically calculated to accommodate the total width of the row (multiple photos) to be 1440 pixels. But within each row, every photo is always the same height as it's neighbor which makes for a nice gallery setup. Here's an example of the CSS to implement this:

Hi, thanks for the feedback. I've had the same idea (#53) and I am glad there is more support for this layout. The linked post is a good explanation and I will look into it more.

Awesome, I hadn't seen you were already looking in to this! Looking forward to it seeing it implemented.

I've implemented this in the "justified" branch if you want to try it before it is merged and released

This is exactly what I was hoping for, thank you so much! I did come across two small issues (though I'd still use it whether or not these get fixed):

1. The "Item spacing" option doesn't seem to do anything for me, all images are always at 0 spacing.
2. Would it be possible to have each row centered instead of left-aligned? Or maybe a dynamic item spacing similar to fully-justified text in books? Nit-picky but I thought I'd throw it out there just in case - not sure if others' preferences are the same as mine.

Oh, I think both of those are bugs - 1. definitely
The second one - I am not sure if I understand it correctly but the intended behaviour is that the gallery fills the whole available width. If that is not the case, than that's a bug.

I've done some work since and merged it into master, could you please try it with the updated version? If there are still problems, could you please send me an address so that I could look at it? Either here in the issue, or at genabitu@gmail.com.

Thank you for your feedback and help.

Working exactly as expected now. Thanks again!
