 * if I disable this plugin, will it save all my galleries/settings, so that if 
   I re-enable it everything goes back to normal? Or will I have to re-build all
   my galleries?

 * [@highprrrr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/highprrrr/) For “disabling” 
   do you mean deactivating the plugin?
    You don’t lose nothing if you deactivate
   NextGEN, as for any other plugin; galleries are on the server and options, paths,
   etc. are on database. But as for many plugins that insert code or shortcodes 
   in pages, when deactivated it doesn’t degrade gracefully.
