Add ability to upload images to a new gallery defined by the user at upload time. Currently it appears that only existing galleries may be selected for upload to. A couple suggestions are: a button to create a new gallery on the Create Image page, or a 'New Gallery' entry in the dropdown which when selected, unhides a textbox for the new gallery name.

First of all, if you're using "multiple images per node" mode, a gallery node will automatically be created. To provide additional buttons would make it too user-unfriendly.

Version: 6.x-2.2 » 6.x-3.0-alpha4

Forget to mention that you have to use 6.x-3.0-alpha4 version.

I'm not using "multiple images per node". In fact I'm not even sure what that is (is it another module).

What I'm really looking for is for the images to be uploaded as individual nodes. What I am trying to do is to allow users to upload images into an existing gallery, or create a new gallery with a name they define. Basically functionality similar to what http://drupal.org/project/imgupload provides. I have tested imgupload and it does what I am looking for, I just really like the cleanliness of this module better. I'm not a big fan of the java applet imgupload uses.

So, if I understand, it should automatically create taxonomys for you. I now realised that you mean the image_fupload_image.module part.
The problem is that there are so many ways of sorting images (for example taxonomy, node reference, cck --> multiple images per node), so if I integrate this thing, another will be requested a few days later. I think, it would be better to provide the user a interface to create their gallerys separately or use hook_form_alter (only for programmers) to do it you like.

Wow, you are on the ball with the quick responses. Thank you!

Yes, creating a taxonomy term automatically when the user wants to upload to a new Gallery is what I mean. As for sorting and displaying, I think the views module should provide all the flexibility needed. I just need each image uploaded (as it's own nods) to be associated to a taxonomy term (Gallery) whether it is an existing one or one they specify (aka new one).

Here's a scenario; the user clicks an upload pictures menu item and is taken to the Create Image page. They want to upload pictures for the 2009 golf trip but that Gallery does not exist. Either they would have to go to another page to create the gallery/taxonomy term (this I'm not sure how to do since creating a taxonomy term is an admin function.) or I would have to anticipate what galleries should be created ahead of time and make sure they exist or it could be done from the Create Image page. Make sense?

I'm certainly not a Drupal expert but am learning so if I am misunderstanding something, please let me know. If there is another good way to provide this functionality, I am all ears (or eyes in this case:)

Thanks again!

p.s. When you set the Image Galleries vocabulary to require a term to be selected, the upload begins before erroring. Maybe validate before beginning the upload...? Should I submit this as a separate issue?

I will fix this probably.
What concerns the taxonomy list, you could also choose "free taging" mode, so a none existing vocabulary would be created automatically. Additionally, you could provide a second one to be able to select a more general thing like year or month.
