Gallery Option

I know there is an option to allow albums in certain gallery categories, however, would be nice if there was an option to force members to create an album within the category or give them the option of uploading to one of their existing albums.  I can see it now, the gallery categories are going to be a mix of albums and individual photos.

Also, in the previous version to this one (3.4.6), when you uploaded a picture to the gallery did it not either have a BB link you could share in a topic or when you posted that topic, gave you the option to choose gallery photos to display?

The way it is currently, you would have to upload it into a topic as well as upload it in the gallery, you are then storing two versions of the same picture on your server, seems like a waste of resources.

Am I missing something?
