I’m running into that problem too. Instead of choosing “Upload Images” you can choose “Import Folder” instead and import all of our your media library images, one folder at a time. But when I tried that it uploaded 4 sizes of every photo. So that was frustrating. I was hoping to be able to use NextGen Gallery for old photos from the media library, not just new uploads.

Hi there, I am looking for a solution to this as well. It would seem efficient to use images already in the Media Library for a gallery … Thank you in advance to anyone who can help on this.
All – This would make for an great Feature Request, we would love to see your suggestions here: http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/feature-voting/
Thanks!
