Well, sorry for the mistake then.

As mentioned - I had a "quick" look at the gallery. Now I'll have a much 
longer one on the framework ;)

you mentioned something like building a gallery out of non-indexed 
images directly from a folder etc. (like "normal" gallerys)


>>- multiple category filters (like in the BE)

the possibility for visitors to filter listed images. Example:

available Categories:
- genre
   + landscape
   + flowers
   + people
- type of cam
   + analog
   + digital
   + SLR
   + DSLR
- skill
   + beginner
   + advanced
   + pro

in the FE it should be possible for the visitor to filter/search for 
kombinations of categories and then browse the gallery - eg:
Filter: landscape + flowers + dslr + skill - pro


>>- list-view optional grouped by subcategories

eg. list of category 'genre':
-----------------------------
subcategory
subcategory
subcategory
#preview-images from the category#
img img img img img img img img


listview with grouped subcategories:
------------------------------------
subcategory
img img img img img img img img
subcategory
img img img img img img img img
subcategory
img img img img img img img img



>>- optional limit by listing images from subcategories

configurable limit of the shown preview-images of each subcategory in 
the "grouped view" right above.



>>- latest-view with possibility to view latest pictures by
>>  category or filter them

plugin-mode "latest" which shows the latest added pictures



All my suggestions where for the extension 'dd_dam_gallery' - to get ONE 
gallery-extension for almost every need - configurable through a 
flexform with different views (like tt_news) - that was at least my idea 
behind of that.
