 * Hi! I have a script which loads images on the server. How it is possible to carry
   out automatic scanning of the folder of gallery on existence of new images?

 * [@ruward56](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ruward56/) – We do not have an
   automated process to scan a folder for new images but you may be able to trace
   back along our manual button to do so. You will find the button under Gallery
   > Manage Galleries … edit any existing gallery to see the “Scan Folder for new
   images” button.
 * This process starts in: ../wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/
   modules/ngglegacy/admin/manage-images.php
 * Thanks!
