Start slideshow in the middle, back button jumps forward randomly

Hi!

I just started using Zenphoto (v1.2.8) for its great SEO pages. Now I have a problem with the bundled Slideshow plugin (v1.2.7).

I have an album with about 50 images.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Using the "ordinary" Zenphoto gallery interface, navigate to any image that's not the first image, for example image #5, and start the slideshow.
2. Immediately press the back button in the slideshow.
Expected result: image #4 is shown
Actual result: a random image forward in the sequence is shown, such as image #9.

Then I can press back repeatedly until I reach the image i started from (#5). Now when I press back, I get to a larger-numbered image such as #25. If I press back again until I reach #5 and then press back again, I reach a even larger number, such as #42. If I wait long enough, the back button works normally, i.e. I get to image #4.

To me this behaviour indicates that the plugin starts to prepare the slideshow images from the starting image (#5) and forwards. When I click back, the "latest prepared image" is shown, and this will be an image with a larger number than the starting image until the preparation code has reached the last image (#50) and then finally prepared image #1 to #4.

Would it be possible to fix the plugin so the back button works immediately after starting the slideshow?

    Hm, I can reproduce that. I have not idea how to fix that right now. The general slideshow stuff is just an adaption of the jQuery cycle plugin and we had help with that js stuff by a user. Please file a ticket for this.
