Believe me I looked everywhere and i hate to ask !

It's here: http://www.zenphoto.org/documentation/plugins/_plugins---image_album_statistics.php.html#functionprintLatestImages

Small tip for searching functions: Cick on "all elements" (http://www.zenphoto.org/documentation/elementindex.html) on the top right and use your browser's search function for the current page.

thanks for that! can anyone tell me why this doesnt work -

Passing parameters is a position based thing. You need
printLatestImages( 8, '', false, false, false, 40, '', 120, 120, false );
in other words, you fill in the parameter position with the value you want it to get. You cannot omit any intermediat paremeters or parameters which do not have a default value.
