   Hey Ho,
   i want to ask if it is possible that someone could tell me how to create such a button:

   http://www.manupape.de/manu/nextgen1.png

   to this place:

   http://www.manupape.de/manu/nextgen2.png

   This would make creating a post much easier, because I load up my photos with ftp to my Server.

   Also, I think this is a nice idea for the next update of NextGen Gallery!

   It would be great if someone could help me!

   greets, Manu!

   For what exact do you need help ? As far as I understand your post ,this is a feature request and not a urgent bug report.

   You will find the media screen in the file admin/media-upload.php inside the plugin folder. There you need to add the button.

   Hey thx for the responses! I thought that this is the right forum... Now I made it to create the button to the right place, but there isn't any function. When I click on it, something is loading, but then nothing changed and nothing has been updated!

   I added this code from the manage-images.php file to the media-upload.php next to the "Save changes"-button:

   <input type="submit" class="button-secondary" name="scanfolder" value="<?php _e("Scan Folder for new images",'nggallery')?> " />

   This is how it looks:

   Has someone an idea how I could do this?

   Greets, Manu!

   ps to alexrabe:
   This feature would make creating a post much easier, if you use ftp-upload for your images.
   It would be great if this function is contained in the next update of NextGEN Gallery!

   I think this is a great idea and would serve to streamline everyones workflow who uploads via ftp (for example directly out of lightroom).

   Thus I made a little hack to accomplish this. I hope, alex will incorporate it in one of the upcoming versions - surely in a neater way.

   So here we go:

   In media-upload.php find the function media_upload_nextgen_form

   Near line 96 insert the code embraced by the comment-block:

   // Get number of images in gallery
   if ($_REQUEST['select_gal']){
       $galleryID = (int) $_REQUEST['select_gal'];
   
       // ---Hack by gwegner.de ----------------------
       // rescans the selected folder for new Images before showing it
       include_once (dirname (__FILE__) . '/functions.php');
       $gallerypath = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT path FROM $wpdb->nggallery WHERE gid = '$galleryID'");
       nggAdmin::import_gallery($gallerypath);
       // --------------------------------------------	
   
       $total = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $wpdb->nggpictures WHERE galleryid = '$galleryID'");
   }

   This one will rescan and refresh the gallery every time it is chosen in the WordPress mediauploader.

   Have Fun!

   I currently don't know why, but unfortunately the hack above is not generating Thumbnails for new images, although the method is being called. Sorry, I'm going to look into it a bit further if time.
