Backlight Theater

Hi Backlight team, I have a simple question: With Stage I have been using the "Compare: TwentyTwenty" option for a special case: Comparing photos of birds difficult to seperate in the wild.
I had hold off to switch from Ce4 to Backlight because of this feature. Have made the switch in the meantime, because of all the other advantages Backlight has to offer. I have still been hoping for Theatre to bring this option back. What I have seen so far, it is not there yet.
Now my question: Will it come back? If so, I would wait to convert those galleries and keep waiting, if not I would think of different ways to get these comparison galleries back. It’ll be less elegant with what I had in the past with CE4, but so be it. Life should not be too much about waiting, but I would hate to invest the work only to find in not too distant future that waiting would have been the better option.
I hope I could get across what I am asking: Is the "Compare: TwentyTwenty" coming back or not? Does not have any impact on me thinking that Backlight is a great product, which I am using now, but I just would like to know helping me to decide what to do. Honest answer much appreciated! Keep up the good work.

Cheers Alfred

I intend so, but I haven't looked at the TwentyTwenty script in quite a long time. It will need to be reevaluated and put through its paces with Backlight before I can make any definitive answer to your question.

Thanks Matt. Will wait then a bit longer. I would much appreciate if you let me know once you know. Alfred

TwentyTwenty isn't working out due to a third-party script dependency that is no longer being maintained, and which breaks under modern versions of jQuery. I've found a replacement that does the trick, though, so that will be in the next version.

Thanks Matt, much appreciated. Owe you a beer or a Shiraz. Let me know when you come through Sydney one day. Cheers Alfred

Matt, thanks for bringing Juxtapose to Theatre - very much appreciated. Did a quick test with one of my old CE4 20/20 albums and that works just fine for me. Need to tidy them up a bit and they will all be ready for publishing. Was worth the wait Cheers Alfred
