Hi Martin,

you're welcome, I would liked to have given more but money is very tight right now. It's a fantastic piece of work, I couldn't believe it was free! It's better than most of the paid sites I've seen by a long way!

I do have a suggestion though...

....having the ability to select multiple source directories - as a photographer I have multiple drives with images on.

...and having the source directory as reference only. 'All' the images fed to the web are compressed copies so that if you delete the web album you're not deleting the source directory. That way, when I create a folder after a days shooting and put that days work in it, I can point the web site to it and it will create a copy of the images to feed to the internet. Anyway, just a suggestion, I don't build websites so I might be asking too much.

I am already planning to add support for multiple source directories. Not sure when it will be released, though…

Your second idea is interesting but I am not sure how it would be implemented in practice. For example, if you add a directory, then Gallery Server Pro will import it and its contents. Then maybe you decide to delete a few images from Gallery Server Pro, which will delete your Gallery Server Pro copies but not the original ones in your reference directory. So far, so good. But then the next time Gallery Server Pro checks your reference directory, it will pick up your previously deleted items since they are not currently in your gallery. There are other difficulties when you consider how to handle items that are moved or copied in the gallery. I am sure it can be done but it might be pretty complex to pull off.
