I love this extention solves a lot of issues for me.

Two things I would love to see though.

1 - (and top of the list) I would love it if the module took it's parameters from the assigned slideshow itself and not force me to reset the module to fit the slideshow settings. An override slideshow settings in the module could allow for multiple looks in cases where that is needed.
2 - Is there any way to have the navigation bar scroll to the active slide's nav icon when there are more nav icons than fit in the height of the show (causing scroll bars to be displayed). Currently I have 6 items in a slideshow, displaying three nav icons per scroll page, but when the slideshow moves to an active slide that is not displayed I would like it to automatically scroll the nav bar to the active slide. Is this even remotely possible?

Have you found any solution concerning highlighting the active thumbnail?
