Now I have finally managed to migrate from wordpress to drupal for my site (Vindstille.net) but theres still one thing missing, I need an imagegallery, and I want it to be very simple.

Preferably I want it to have one imagefolder (/files/images/) where I can upload (using ftp) folders of files (example: /files/images/cuba06/) and then the gallery should display a new gallery at the gallerypage (http://mydomain.com/gallery) displaying the foldername as gallerytitle, displaying thumbnails of the pictures in the folder and preferable have it paginated and with the possibility of back/next-links and both image- and page-level

The front page of the gallery should list the galleries or preferable display on random thumbnail from the different galleries.

I tried using Gallery2, it seems to be good enough (maybe overkill) but i have a sligth problem that I havent got any help for in 7 weeks, so I have kind of given up. (Drupal Forum: 500 error after user sync & Gallery2 Forum: 500 error after user sync)

I do not think views will do the trick because it is alot of pictures, and since I also use the pictures in posts I like to keep them in their respective folders, witch seems to make it kind of troublish to use the bulk-upload-feature.

If somethins was uncleare, please let me know and I will try to explain further.

Have you considered http://drupal.org/project/brilliant_gallery I've never tried it but it seems to answer what you've said you want.

cheers

Is it possible to have it make back/next-links?

It seems to be a good gallery, but I just get it to show me the title when I enter /brilliant_gallery, but no pictures, I have downloaded all the modules needed, and even some of the extra modules and if i try to use the tag in a post, that works, but it is the problem about the central gallery-page

The problem with acidfree is that it depends on image.module witch has its bulkupload-module that makes a little problem according to my criterias.
