 * Totally unintuitive. Totally awkward to use. I would not recommend this, if you
   can avoid. It’s impossible to handle large bulks of images because you cannot
   sort them properly. There is no explanation as to the difference between a gallery
   and an album. I’ve deleted a gallery, I now cannot access ANY of the 120 photos
   I uploaded as they are not associated with a gallery. What an awful pile of crap.
   Off to find a plugin that works.

 * @franhaseiden – Thanks for taking the time to leave a response. Sorry NextGEN
   wasn’t the right fit for you. Hope you find something that works better for your
   needs. Two quick notes:
 * 1) “impossible to handle large bulks of images” -> Actually, for what it’s worth,
   the handling of bulk images (upload and then management, including sorting) is
   widely considered to be one of the core strengths of NextGEN Gallery. Not sure
   what issue you were having specifically, but my sense is you views on this run
   counter to most people who use NextGEN.
 * 2) A gallery is a collection of images. An album is a collection of galleries.
 * 3) When you delete a gallery in NextGEN, yes, you do delete the images within
   it. NextGEN creates and manages galleries, and the images are just part of those
   galleries.
 * Thanks for your input and good luck in finding a better fit. (Erick)
