Wanted to post some feature requests for one of the best modules around, node gallery.
Here they are:
1) Create gallery/sub-gallery on image upload.
Why? Because galleries usually have sub-galleries. For example, a site on with a "dogs" gallery will have an area dedicated to dalmatians, another dedicated to golden retrievers. If that same site has a "food" gallery, it will probably have sections like "deserts", "dinner entres", "lunch entres", "apetizers", etc.
2) Tags/meta tags or taxonomy or fields on image upload.
Why? Easy sorting, implementation with views.... I tried flipping on 'meta tags', and it didn't work. It showed a line with no text box. Messed with the themes. Not working.
3) Import tool for images.
Why? Servers limit image uploads to like 8mb per one. An import script would be better. You could just upload a zip file, rar file, or folder, and then run a script to import the images. Also, this wouldn't require Java, and it seems to me like the Java for Imagex just caused my site to malfunction hardcore. It seemed more like a virus than anything.

dddave commented1 and 3 are already requested and I guess both will be in NG3. Not sure about 2...
Comment #2
Fohsap commentedI'm sorry, I should be more clear. As per #2, there's no way to access the meta tag field value, even if it's added via the CCK. So, there's no way to add meta tags on the front-end.
Anyway, I am not sure where to start, but I will see if I can find time to figure out a work around. Thank you very much, for the information about 1 and 3, and your kind considerations.

If the meta-tags problem still exists in NG3 please file a separate issue.
