    Hi,
    I like your plugin very much.

    I would appreciate a feature to create a document gallery from a folder (Somewhere on the server) without importing all the files into wordpress.
    Just select a folder and the gallery displays all files in that folder (without description obviously).

    This would be very time serving if you often add or remove files from a gallery and also keeps your wordpress media folder clean.

    Hi entrapped,

    This is not the first time this request has showed up, but unfortunately it is unlikely to happen due to how Document Gallery is implemented. Internally, it relies significantly on the WordPress API to perform the various operations necessary to get a gallery displayed. Since WordPress itself does not support operations on arbitrary directories, we would have to re implement a lot of the plugin from the ground up.

    That said, I appreciate the suggestion and it is on our list of future enhancements, just not very high on the list right now ??

    -Dan
