I would agree, my problem is I have a lot of albums, and a lot of subfolders. My members asked for this to be sorted this way (it's in the thousands of images and even folders BTW) and I guess I am spoiled, but MyEGallery automatically adds any folders as categories, and also automatically includes any images within that folder and lists them automatically. You can approve the folder for viewing, though a bug in MEG is you may also have to approve the pics as well.
Still, would save months of work, and pretty sure other people here would love that option if you have large image based websites. Would save a lot of typing at least.
