images outside the media folder

Because MaxGalleria integrates tightly with the built-in WordPress media management, this isn’t an option at this time, sorry.

Ugh, this is exactly what I was looking for and now you say it isn’t an option – we just imported 3000+ images from NextGen gallery and all those are now within the same folder which is an administrative nightmare… not good. I really liked and wanted to use MaxGalleria but without custom folder manipulation it’s not a good solution for us – regaridng ehis specific situation ??

I agree with PlaviPixel.
find one image if in the media container we have more than 1000 is a nightmare….
I think that the idea is to connect the gallery just to the id of the post gallery id, then have the possibility to looking inside other galleries if someone need a previous uploaded image.

I done the first part by myself:

open media.js file,line 16.

After “maxgalleria_media_frame = wp.media.frames.maxgalleria_media_frame = wp.media({” add this:

library: {‘type’ : ‘uploadedTo’}

final code:

maxgalleria_media_frame = wp.media.frames.maxgalleria_media_frame = wp.media({
			// Use our own custom class name to avoid CSS conflicts
            className: "media-frame maxgalleria-media-frame",
			library: {
					'type' : 'uploadedTo'
				},
			// The other option here is setting the frame to "select"
            frame: "post"
        });
