 * Hi, I have to add more then a thousend pics to a gallery and there is no reasonable
   way due to server limitations (memory /php-runtime).
    Is there a possibility 
   to create the gallery and the thumbs by hand, ftp upload and tell the plugin 
   here they are ?
 * Cheers Carsten

 * I am also looking for a way to have NextGen Gallery recognize FTP uploads. It
   only seems to see pictures it uploads, I must be missing something. I am looking
   to use my Aperture to FTP plugin and save some time.
 * thanks – I LOVE this plugin!

 * Can you not create an empty gallery and then upload the images using Winscp for
   example? Then just ask NextGen Gallery to fetch images from that gallery directory…
   I have done that; not with a thousand images, though.

 * yes this works absolutely. I wasn’t clear enough on my end. I am looking for 
   a way to cut down the workflow as adding 100 galleries this way is a different
   matter than one a day, especially if they have context specific names. I guess
   I am not clear on if the file structure is the same why does NextGen need to “
   import” them when in fact they are there and don’t move after being imported.
 * For instance a way to refresh NextGen so it sees the new uploads?
 * thanks for you response in case it answers csicars question.
