Mobile Device Exiting
When entering a slideshow on mobile device, there is no way of backing out, returning to privous page, returning to home page etc..Anotherwords, there is no navigation. Once you enter a slideshow your stuck there at the point of no return.
Same thing when your on a computer browser. Entering the slide show opens up a new page and you can simply exit out by (x) closing the tab, but no navigation on the page.

However if you want to change it edit the GALLERY_NAV template and replace {SLIDESHOW_URL*} with {$REPLACE,wide_high=1,wide_high=0,{SLIDESHOW_URL*}}

- If my reply is too Vulcan or expressed too much in business-strategy terms, and not particularly personal, I apologise. As a company & project maintainer, time is very limited to me, so usually when I write a reply I try and make it generic advice to all readers. I'm also naturally a joined-up thinker, so I always express my thoughts in combined business and technical terms. I recognise not everyone likes that, don't let my Vulcan-thinking stop you enjoying Composr on fun personal projects.
- If my response can inspire a community tutorial, that's a great way of giving back to the project as a user.

Users can always use the browsers own back button.
My phone is an iPhone 5s and I totally loose my browser's back button. Well, let me correct myself. The back buttons are there but they are not responsive. That was my first reaction was to use my phones back button. But when going into the slideshow, my browser's backbutton is disabled.
On my iPhone, to make the browser's back button appear (while in slideshow) and perform an update/refresh I have to scoll all the way down the page until I "hit" bottom, then scroll back to the top. When I do this while in the slide show, I'm not getting the result. No browser back or forward button.

However I see on mobile this is totally confusing, it's not clear that it's a new window and not so easy to switch back to the main window. I'll make it not do this for mobile.
I just opened an issue discussing our use of new windows 0003209: Allow configuration of "opens in new window" behaviour - Composr CMS feature tracker.
