 * Hi, ShortPixel is working great for me now. However, I have a lot of images in
   a folder under wp-content/gallery used by NextGen. Is there a way to optimize
   the images in this folder and subfolders?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi,
    thanks for your message.
 * Unfortunately there isn’t any way you could optimize images that aren’t listed
   in Media Library using ShortPixel plugin. Yet. We’re working on adding such a
   feature.
 * Anyway, in the meantime we could still help you: if you could send me an archive(
   or FTP access) with the files in your gallery I could have them optimized and
   send them back to you.
 * Please let me know if such an approach would be suitable for you,
    Aex

 * Thanks for getting back to me! I just optimized the images using a Photoshop 
   droplet for the time being, but the ability to do other folders using ShortPixel
   would be great!
