Gallery maker version 0.9.1b
Download the beta (3.69Mb), unzip, read the 'read me' file. Ensure you have your login information and site url to hand, then from the system tray right click to get the menu. If it's your first time you'll be asked for some details.
This is a demo of my new application that uploads galleries from your digCam. Merely by calling a menu item, you upload an entire folder of images into your Manila site. Each will become its own message, for neatness these are threaded into the final story page, that is the gallery. The gallery takes its name from the name of the folder you're uploading and each image takes its shortcut and title of message from the name of the image.
The whole point is to make the uploading of galleries simple (yet powerful, natch ;-) As we are working within Manila each image is a shortcut, each thumbnail a shortcut. Thus you are able to enlarge individual thumbnails or flip, flop, rotate, reduce, giving you a varied gallery while the rest are the default size you picked from the menu when you first uploaded from within Radio (Galleries ==> 200px: for example).

More tips
Before uploading, reduce the size of the images from your digital camera. Remember that viewers may not have the bandwidth to open very large thumbnails, especially 2-5Mb files some cameras are now capable of. A final size with a maximum edge of 800px is good though a file size of 1Mb would also be big but good.
Within the Manila site you've just uploaded to, visit Editors only ==> Thumbnails and picking the image's name you wish to alter, then when you see the thumbnail image, click 'edit this page,' which brings up the normal thumbnail UI page, with sizes and flip, flop and rotate, etc., play as you like, and the shortcut used in the final story page (the gallery) will update as is usual with shortcuts.

The Edit Thumnbail interface.
As they're "shortcuts", it's cleaner to 'edit the page' or use within the front page's blog to draw attention to your story page (gallery) within.
You'll be able to see what's happening within Radio if you have the 'About Radio' window open Userland Windows ==> About Radio Userland. If you're on a dial up, and you've not pre-reduced the size of the images from your digital camera, uploading can take a very long time.
Currently, once the upload has finished, the web browser will open the final story (gallery) page
