Sneak peak: Image management
There's been some discussion about Gallery and images in blogs so I thought I'd lay out a sneak peak of what's in development. We will be replacing the current embedded gallery with a drupal-native solution with the following features: *Images have associated licenses and (geo)Tags as well as comments, RSS, ect (ie everything blog posts currently have). *Image indexes by user and/or tags (ie photos/username/tagname or photos/username or photos/tagname). *Stick an image into a blog post from your album OR upload a new image into your album at post time OR link to an external image. **Basic left/right/center alignment, (but we can expand this with custom styles). **Link to larger sizes (for images in album) **Generate thumbnails. Future features: *Image streams from Flickr, etc *User-controlled permissions (ie allow only friends, family, etc) *Tag cloud or list view *Ratings / Most popular Reworking things in Drupal will make development a lot faster and more responsive, so keep the suggestions/ feature requests coming. Thanks, Admin Maj

So you're migrating away from Gallery2
OK, but does Drupal have upload clients as Gallery2 does?

Could you clarify?
What do you mean by upload clients? You mean for bulk uploads?

bulk uploads
Yeah, basically I can use a program on my KDE desktop to title, caption, rotate and tag all of my photos, and then export everything at once to any site using Gallery2 (or for that matter to Flickr). I'd like to be able to do the same thing here (tag once, post everwhere :) ).
Of course the image streams from Flicr solves this problem for me. I should have read your original post more closely I guess.

thanks for the clarification
I've added this to the feature list. It's something people have come to expect from photo managers and I think it's pretty doable... there are still a few people out there without Flickr accounts I'm told ;-)

KPhotoAlbum
For us Linux users you can probably achieve this in part by accepting kphotoalbum export files.. Of course Gallery2 which you appear to be running at the moment already has lots of client software, so one solution might simply be to stick with it. *me* ducks.
