 * Hi,
 * I’ve been moving my images to this plugin today. I created all the albums and
   galleries I needed, then went through the process of moving the images form their
   original folders on the server to the new, NextGen ones, but now I am not enjoying
   the repetitive action of “scanning” them in. I have to keep clicking “Manage 
   gallery”–>some gallery name–>”Scan folder for new images.” Is there no other 
   way to do this? I notice the drop down box on the Manage Gallery page that has
   a few bulk actions, but “Check all gallery folders for new images” is not one
   of these options. So, do I need to continue scanning each gallery individually?
   Or is there a faster way I just haven’t found yet?
 * While I know I’m new to this plugin (but I do really like it) and I don’t want
   to sound like I’m complaining, I think the ability to mass scan folders or even
   a feature to auto-scan gallery folders for changes at some user-determined interval
   would be **great** additions to the next version.
 * Thanks
