# [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] New Feature request

 * I’d like to make a request for a new feature (or actually a change to an existing
   one).
 * I’ve used Gallery2 for several years on my website, but it’s overly complex, 
   and doesn’t integrate well with WordPress.
 * NextGEN is much better for my needs, but there are a couple of things that Gallery2
   does that I’d like to see in NextGen:
    1. Gallery2 can be configured store the original images in a folder outside the
       normal web structure (i.e. above the /public_html/… level). This makes them 
       more secure – browsers can only access the images via PHP scripts.
    2. Gallery2 does “on-the-fly” watermarking. In other words, the pictures are only
       watermarked when they are requested by a web browser, and the original images
       are untouched. This means that if you want to change the watermark, you can,
       without having to upload the original pictures all over again.
 * Regards,
 * Neil.

 * Those are biggies for me, too. I would love to be free from Gallery2 but without
   being able to protect the original photos and without pre-generated watermarking,
   I just can’t switch.
