Well, yes. You mentioned gallery2, so of cource Ben looked it up in the 
ext_rep.

All the gallery2 ext does (as you know of course), is that it makes the 
gallery2 database accessible from the TYPO3 backend en frontend. I don't 
know (by reading the manual) if gallery2 can read the files from the 
fileadmin (probably can). But it sure cannot do anything clever with the 
dam, like use the Meta data from an image for the description (it might 
be able to use the jpeg comment field or whatever, but nothing from the 
dam tables).

Gallery2 uses it's own database (tables at least). It's not a TYPO3 ext 
in any way (except that it's 'glued' into TYPO3).

So I really agree with Ben and Karsten. We can use a do-all be-all 
gallery extension that can use the dam, use nested categories, 
subgalleries, zoombox, lightbox, etc.

Any volunteers?

:-)

Kind regards,
