Migrating from Revolution Slider to ThemeCo's Sliders

Hi,

I’ve been doing some really nice stuff with the Modern Sliders since it’s released, and I’m now looking to get rid of the last remaining sliders that have previously been build with Revolution Sliders.
I can think of an approach to create ‘galleries’ that can act as Looper Provider: create a separate Custom Posttype ‘galleries’, and add an ACF-field ‘gallery’ to that CPT. Then in Looper Provider select the exact PostID for the CPT-item that holds the ACF Gallery to be used.

But this feels already way too complicated. So I’m wondering what the idea was when Modern Sliders was designed. Let’s keep it simple and say: “The user needs to select and manage (as their updated every now and then) a set of images, and that selection would be displayed using a ThemeCo Modern Slider”.

I’m very curious!

In addition: I know there have been a few remarks over the years regarding ‘lightboxes’. Might this be something to bump up the roadmap? Given the elements that are available right now, it would mean just a small step to enable a Lightbox on image/sliders, which would eliminate even more external plugins.
