 * Seems like a good idea, [@imagely](https://wordpress.org/support/users/imagely/)!
   This would explain, why the folder import does not offer that feature.
 * This might solve another problem, if the **Scan folder for new images** can support
   other things:
    - replacement of images (I re-edited let’s say 30 of 200 images I’m the gallery
      and want to replace them with new version).
    - Update metadata like tags, titles. I can either store them in the imagefile–
      in that case it’s like I described above – or would deliver side car xmp files(
      if NextGen Gallery supports car files).
    - Is there a REST API command for **Scan folder for new images**?
 * If you can confirm one of this points, it would help me a lot!
