Hi Dmitry
I've tried rgsmoothgallery, but it is not that concept.
What I want is not just show pics from a folder, but get all _generated_ 
pics also in different folder - one folder per one album. Doing so you 
can protect images from being hotlinked from outside even when album 
doesn't exist anymore. So if you remove album folder you are sure you 
have removed all stuff and any outer link to temp folders will not work. 
Otherwise you have to clear temp pics folder everytime that is not good.
And another point - if you have hundreds of albums with hundreds of pics 
it is bad idea to store all these tens of thousands generated pics in 
one folder. It will slow down server performance.
