It looks like your web server may not be set up to automatically open 'index.html' files if they exist in a directory.
It is usual for a user to be able to go to a directory and have the 'index.html' file inside it opened in the browser without explicitly having to add 'index.html' to the URL.
For example, a user should be able to view the http://www.example.com/index.html file by going to just http://www.example.com/.
This does not seem to be happening on your web server. (Only 'index.php' files seem to be accounted for on your web server.)
Try contacting your web host to check that 'index.html' files are included in your DirectoryIndex.
Hopefully this will solve your problem.

First of all, please ensure that you are using the latest version of Showkase (v1.3.4) to ensure that any bugs that were present in previous versions but which have since been fixed are not contributing to your problem.
If necessary, please see the Upgrading Showkase support page for details.

I have just checked that changing the 'Gallery text color' and updating a caption takes effect after clicking 'Update' and 'Publish' and everything seems to be working as expected in my own test Showkase v1.3.4 installation.

After making changes to your Showkase site, try completely clearing your browser's cache before reloading your gallery page to see if this makes a difference.
Your web server may also be caching pages which might introduce a delay before you see the updates that you make to your Showkase site.
If your web server uses Apache, try adding the following line of code to the .htaccess file in your root directory to disable server-side caching.

Header set Cache-Control "max-age=0, private, no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate"

Hopefully ensuring that you are using Showkase v1.3.4, clearing your browser's cache and disabling server-side caching will solve your problem.

The problem with grouping pages under a Navigation Link in the Kosel theme is that, when the link is clicked in the menu, the link's URL is opened (rather than the menu expanding to show the second tier pages).
If your 'paintings', 'sculpture', 'water' and 'ferries' pages are gallery pages, then I would recommend using Gallery Index Pages (rather than Navigation Links) for your 'Art' and 'Photography' top tier pages.

Alternatively, if you like, you could change your theme to Boma ('Site -> Change Theme') and select the 'Show all subnav' checkbox ('Site -> Customize Theme -> Navigation').
This will always display all links to all pages so links to your second tier pages (grouped under Navigation Link pages) will always be visible. (The ability to display all links at all times is available only in the Boma theme where the side menu is better suited to displaying a larger number of menu items at once.)

I'm glad you've been able to resolve your problems.
Thank you for posting back to let me know.

If you are unable to run the Showkase Server Compatibility Test, then the problem might be something as basic as not having PHP installed (or correctly configured) on your web server.

Try contacting your web host to see if they can confirm if you have PHP installed on your hosting account and, if so, which version.

The problem may also be a pathing problem whereby the URL you are entering into your browser's address bar may be incorrect and you are not actually viewing the Showkase Server Compatibility Test or Showkase admin section files at all.
Please double-check that the URLs you are using are correct.

Also, please check to see if you have any rewrite or redirect rules in an .htaccess file on your web server which might be causing your problem.

It might also help if I were able to see the problem for myself so please post the URLs to your Showkase Server Compatibility Test and Showkase site itself and I will take a look and investigate further. Thank you.

If you want to add code to the <head> section of only 'Basic' pages (for example), then you can add a {block "head"} ... {/block} section to the '_themes/base/pagetypes/basic.tpl' file.
For example:

{block "head"}
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://mark-friedman.com/assets/css/simplex.css" media="screen" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://mark-friedman.com/assets/css/form.simple.css" media="screen" />
{/block}

Anything you type into the editor will appear in the <body> section of the page. (If you are entering HTML code, just be sure to click the 'Source' button to ensure that your HTML code is treated as code rather than plain text.)

If you want to add any custom CSS code to all pages within your site, you can add it directly to your chosen theme's 'custom.css' file (e.g. '_themes/kosel/css/custom.css').

If you need to add any code to the <head> section of your pages, add it before the closing </head> tag in the '\_themes\base\pagetypes\layout.tpl' file.
You could add code to the <body> section in this file, too, but you might want to add your code to the <section class="content"> container (rather than before the closing </body> tag which would be after the <footer>).

Please post suggestions for future versions in the Feature Requests thread. This keeps all the ideas together and ensures that they are not overlooked by the developers. Thank you!

If you can type in the URL manually and it works, then it would appear that the files are on your web server and the import has worked successfully.

I do not think that this is relevant. The gallery's 'index.html' page is not required (or used) when importing a gallery. You can import a Juicebox gallery without an 'index.html' page even being present. It is simply a page (created by JuiceboxBuilder) into which the gallery is embedded so that the gallery can be displayed on a page of its own. When importing a gallery, Showkase embeds the gallery into a new Showkase gallery page.

I still think the problem may be due to browser caching.
If you want to test this out, then import a gallery, click 'Publish' and let me know the name of the gallery page (and the URL to your Showkase site's home page) and I will let you know what I see (whether or not the gallery page is listed in the navigation menu).

You might like to look into changing the dimensions that Showkase uses to create the index page thumbnails in the source code. Try changing the default INDEX_THUMB_WIDTH and INDEX_THUMB_HEIGHT on lines 62 and 64 of the '/admin/settings/constants.php' file. Also, the function which sizes the thumbnails is the getIndexThumbSize() function starting on line 108 of the '/admin/classes/theme.php' file.
If you wanted Showkase to create thumbnails of a specific size, then you could just change line 136 of the '/admin/classes/theme.php' file from:

return array('width'=>$width, 'height'=>$height);

... to something like:

return array('width'=>400, 'height'=>300);

I do not know what knock on effects this will have (as Showkase will have no knowledge of your custom sizes) but it might be worth a try to avoid having to replace the thumbnails each time you publish your site.

Change line 13 of the '/_themes/base/pagetypes/basetheme.tpl' from:

<title dir="ltr">{$ss_siteTitle} | {$ss_navName}</title>

... to:

<title dir="ltr">{$ss_navName}</title>

Please note that the line numbers above refer to the current version of Showkase (v1.3.4).

I'm glad that you've been able to resolve your problem.
Thank you for posting back to let me know.

I would really need to see your Showkase site in order to troubleshoot your problem so please upload the site to a web server and post the URL so that I can take a look and help further.

In the meantime, please double-check that you have added your custom CSS code to the correct 'custom.css' file (in the folder corresponding to the theme you are using) and that the paths in the CSS code correctly point towards the font files themselves.
