Is there any way to show a gallery of brilliant galleries either as a running list or something like one thumbnail from each one with links into the specific galleries? Great module, using it in individual posts but I would like to allow for more exposure by having a single destination as well... Any thoughts?

I agree. This would be great.
I assume one could make a page with the bg-tag to link to other pages with bg-tags though.
It would be better if this was a feature out of the box though.

We could do it by inserting as many bg-tags within one page as we like. But we don't know how to make just one thumbnail to show for the whole gallery. It seems that now there is no such feature in bg-tag syntax. Related to this issue: http://drupal.org/node/478336

You can randomize the gallery and specify that only 1 image shows. That way, every time the page loads a different image thumbnail shows (or when you clear cache, if you are caching pages).

You can make a CCK field where [bg|...] tags are stored -- and then you create a view, etc.

See how I've done it at http://vacilando.net/galleries

Not exactly. There is a number of single pictures on your page. But we wish to get to this: http://www.leconvivial.com/portal/en/node/92 (the whole gallery stands behind one singe picture chosen from that gallery and when you click on the single picture you can view the rest of the pictures in a lightbox).

I wonder if there is probably some code patch or maybe we can do it by regular means of Brilliant Gallery + maybe some other module?

Oh, now I understand what you mean. It's something that will be possible in 6.x-4.x -- you will be able to choose to what URL should a single image be linked (instead of Lightbox). Then you make a view, etc.

Marking this as a feature request.

I think it can be simple. There is no need for Views or other modules. You have to just add one feature: make a single picture to be an entry point for the whole gallery. The user will just add several bg-tags on the page selecting which image from each gallery will be used as a thumbnail.

How to compell my gallery to work?

It gives me error and nobody can help:

I installed Brilliant gallery, activated

I have uploaded all my pictures to sites/default/files/albumas/bg_demo_bum
But I can't see them to manage

In the page
Manage galleries I see error
warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/www/vambutai.eu/elena/modules/brilliant_gallery/brilliant_gallery.module on line 414.

Should I uninstall Brillaint gallery?

I need it this feature too: "...make a single picture to be an entry point for the whole gallery." So, when the visitor clicks over this "entry point" the "whole gallery" can be showed using Lightbox2.

Is it possible?

Thanks.
