 * Firstly, let me say that I think NextGEN is awesome and one of the best plugins
   there is. I couldn’t live without it on my blog and use it pretty much every 
   day.
 * This leads me onto my request though:** It needs a better workflow.**
 * I find that there’s sometimes too much jumping in and out of menus when you should
   be able to get somewhere with a simple drop down and click – the flow.
 * Example 1: I click **Manage Gallery** and select a gallery. **There should be
   a button to add an addition image to that gallery**. Sure I can scan the folder
   for new images, but that means manually putting an image in that folder.
 * Example 2: I click **Add Gallery/Images** type in a name for a new gallery, select**
   Upload Images** and upload some images to the gallery – at this point it would
   be great to have an option to jump into that new gallery. At present I need to
   click Manage Gallery, search for or use the pages to find the gallery.
 * Example 3: This is slightly unrelated, but when inserting a single pic into a
   post the default size of the image is set to 320 x 240. It would be great if 
   it pulled the size from the selected image – this helps with loading pages faster
   and would mean you wouldn’t need to already know the dimensions of your image.
 * Don’t take this all as a dig – I think there’s just ways to make this plugin 
   even better than it already is.

 * I really second this request, and I think that this will be very helpful when
   you use Nextgen gallery as the image management tool of a wordpress site!
