    • Create a new folder with pictures in an existing structure?
    • delete or change pictures in an imported folder

  • Hi @aaa1898,

    Thank you for reaching out,

    Once you have imported the images into NextGEN Gallery via the folder successfully, you’ll need to scan the galleries once you have added the new images on the folder. To scan the image, navigate to “Manage Galleries -> [Gallery Name] -> Gallery Settings[tab] -> Scan folder for new images”. Once done, new/replaced images will be updated on NextGEN Gallery.

    However, for the image deletion purpose, we don’t have any workarounds. After you have deleted the images on the folder, the image still appears on the gallery since it’s imported to NextGEN Gallery. So you’ll need to delete the image manually from Manage galleries area.

    I hope this helps! Could you please let me know if you have any questions?

    Thanks! ??
