Adds a media picker pane allowing access to media from a given Gallery3 installation.

== Description ==

This plugin will allow WordPress to access media from a specified Gallery3 gallery, much in the way the WP Media library does. It does not provide any front-end sugar, such as carousels or daily images with an automatic rotation.

A bug in Gallery3 (3.0) makes this plugin receive quite a bit more data than it asked for when fetching the folder structure. If you run a very large gallery, this might become a problem. Feel free to get in touch if you run into issues with this. 

== Installation ==

1. Upload the `gallery3-picker` directory to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
1. Make sure to update the settings in Settings/Gallery3 media picker.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= So what's the difference between this plugin and other Gallery3 plugins? =

heiv gallery 3:
Allows for embeddable carousels and direct deep linking of Gallery3 assets. 
No WP media library integration.
Requires visual editor mode in order to invoke it.
Fairly slow navigation - will query new parts of the folder structure every time you enter a new album and images are paged. 

GWPG3:
Alpha stage of development, more ambitious plan than the other two plugins.
For now, no image picker.

Gallery3 Picker: 
Image picker, downloads selected media into the media library for further use by WordPress. 
Fast navigation, progressive photo rendering. 
Anything you can do with images in the media library is (naturally) possible, including the default resizing and positioning controls. 
No deep linking, images are served out of WordPress.

For me, Gallery3 Picker scratches an itch but depending on your needs, one of the other plugins might be a better match.

== Screenshots ==

1. The picker view in the `Add Media` dialog.
