Hi guys,

A brainstorm was brewing in my head today while I was considering a layout to represent pictures. I know what I'm going to explain here is a very heavy feature and I'm not surprised that it will probably never make it to Smugmug :D but here it is:
An option to create tours. With that I mean that you can take a picture, create clickable 'hotspots' on that picture and that hotspot will take you to the next picture to get some kind of tour going. I know this will require the use of a more sophisticated programming language than scripting languages, but still I think it would be a nice idea.
As I said, it probably won't make it as a feature, but I would like to know other people's thoughts on this (I might even design it myself as a Java Applet :D)

Cheers

...create clickable 'hotspots' on that picture and that hotspot will take you to the next picture to get some kind of tour going... It sounds like you are describing an image map (http://www.google.com/search?q=image+map). I think a java applet would be overkill.
