    Blocks – nice and good, you can get used to them.
    The menu: rugged, one part on the right, one part at the top. Concept? not recognizable for me.
    For me the bare horror: I can only upload pictures or use them from wordpress’ own media library. Pictures from Nextgen Gallery or other plugins? No chance. Hours of work and futile search for other possibilities – all in vain. This is at best a pre-beta status, not useful for me.

    Blöcke – schön und gut, da kann man sich dran gewöhnen.
    Das Menü: zerklüftet, ein Teil rechts, ein Teil oben. Konzept? für mich nicht erkennbar.
    Für mich der blanke horror: ich kann nur bilder hochladen oder aus der wordpress-eigenen Mediathek verwenden. Bilder aus Nextgen Gallery oder anderen Plugins? Fehlanzeige. Stunden der Arbeit und vergebliche Suche nach anderen Möglichkeiten – alles umsonst. Das ist allenfalls ein vor-Beta-status, so für mich nicht brauchbar.

    Yes, unfortunately, this is new. Those types of plugins will need to adapt. The goal of the editor is not to be backward compatible with existing systems that had to work around problems in the old editor.

    This likely won’t be fixed by the editor. The plugins and themes will need to adapt to the new editor.

    That a software can’t be downward compatible forever is clear to me. But it would contribute considerably to acceptance and distribution if certain things would simply work after all. I don’t necessarily expect you to be able to load photos directly from NexGen Gallery. That’s certainly a plugin thing. It would be enough for me if you could enter the URL of the image to place the image. In principle this works somehow – but then the pictures are treated as text blocks and the formatting for photos (link, size, description) is not available!
    Photos would also have to be recognized as such by the URL or the file format – regardless of where they are or how they were inserted

    Das eine Software nicht ewig abwärtskompatibel sein kann, ist mir klar. Es würde aber erheblich zu Akzeptanz und Verbreitung beitragen, wenn bestimmte Dinge eben doch einfach funktionieren würden. Ich erwarte nicht unbedingt, dass man Fotos direkt aus NexGen Gallery laden kann. Dasist sicher eine Sache des Plugins. Es würde mir ja ausreichen, wenn man die URL des Bildes eingeben könnte um das Bild zu platzieren. Prinzipiell geht das zwar irgendwie – nur werden die Bilder dann als Text-Block behandelt und die Formatierung für Fotos (verlinken, Größe, Beschreibung) steht nicht zur Verfügung!
    Fotos müßten auch anhand der URL oder des Dateiformates als solche erkannt werden – ganz unabhängig davon, wo sie liegen oder wie sie eingefügt wurden.

    @dischue – Erick from NextGEN Gallery here. I just want to note that:

    1) Existing NextGEN Galleries will continue to work when users upgrade to Gutenberg. We’ve tested this. NGG visual shortcodes get parsed into the Classic Text Block, which works like normal.

    2) NextGEN has released a Gutenberg-friendly beta of the plugin. We’ll probably officially release within 1-2 months. This version works both with Gutenberg and with the Classic editor. From the Gutenberg interface, you’ll see NextGEN Gallery block. For backwards compatibility and switch-to-Classic-Editor reasons, we leverage the Classic Text block. This means even if you use Gutenberg to insert your gallery, and later switch to Classic editor, even then it should work.

    –

    More generally, I do sympathize with your view that Gutenberg is placing much less emphasis on backwards compatibility than WordPress traditionally has. And I think there’s a high probability that many themes/plugin will break. The burden has been placed on themes/plugins to make themselves compatible with Gutenberg rather than vice versa. And many won’t.

    But for NextGEN Gallery, we should be ready well in advance, old galleries should continue to work, and you should be able to add and manage your galleries via Gutenberg.
