 * Hello,
 * Is there a function I could add to the function.php file to prevent NGG in sanitizing
   the folders when we create a new gallery? For example, if we create a gallery
   named “TestGallery”, this renames the folder “testgallery” in the ftp folder,
   but we have already uploaded the folders which have capitals in the names.
 * The folders being upload is created by our program and automatically uploaded
   to the server, then we create galleries with the same name, but we have to manually
   change the gallery names after.
 * Thought there might be something we can add to the functions.
 * Thanks

 * [@lilap](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lilap/) – We do not currently have
   any hooks where you can change the sanitation methods we are using although we
   are looking at some refactoring work which should provide these hooks by default.
   Unfortunately this “refactor” has just hit our idea board and will be some time
   away before it is considered/included in a future release cycle.
 * Thanks!
