I'm sorry to re-post my forum topic here, but I was hoping that since Walkah worked on both gallery.module and image.module there might be some people in this community that could help me. Here's the text of my forum post:

I have a rather large embedded Gallery2 installation. Don't get me wrong, I love Gallery2, but I am becoming convinced that a native solution would be better for several reasons. Chiefly, to reduce feature bloat, to reduce time spent tweaking external apps to work with Drupal (same reason I chucked CiviCRM), to allow use of Taxonomy, and to allow tighter integration with Drupal and especially the Views module.

I'm thinking Acidfree will be the way to go, especially since it is now built on the popular Image, Video, and Views modules. I've recently become a huge fan of Views, despite its STEEP learning curve. It's just so awesomely useful! Plus with the module someone wrote for using the Gallery Remote protocol with image.module... just excellent.

But - and it's a HUGE "but" - I have close to FIVE THOUSAND images in my embedded Gallery2 installation. Jinkies. So I'm hoping that maybe - just maybe - there's a script or other method around somewhere to help me migrate my sizable amount of data over to Acidfree/Image/Video.

*Fingers crossed!*

This is not a feature request but a support request.

Oh, sorry about that. I assumed since it involved writing new code that it would be a feature request.

If you expect someone to write code, it IS a feature request. BUT I dont think we will help you to migrate away from Gallery2. There are other issues and features that need our attention and we will better spent our time improving the gallery.module.

You can make this a 'support request' and hope for help or get a 'wont fix' on your 'feature request'.

Maybe you should (also) ask the Acidfree people for assistence. Not sure this will help though.

Good luck with that.

Maybe Album photo? http://drupal.org/project/photos

I know also that Kiz is working on having gallery pictures as nodes in drupal, but that's for D6.
