using template and gallery tags to dsiplay content – nextgen-gallery

im trying to display images from multiple galleries using the tag function.

so i have 2 galleries created, in these galleries i have a couple of images, i have tagged a couple of them with the “ken” tag.

so i can display them in the default template by using this code:

[nggtags gallery=ken]

this is great, but the thing is, i want to use a template to display them, so i use this code to display a gallery in the carousel template:

[nggallery id=1 template=carousel]

again this works fine, now here is my problem, if i use the nggtags AND the template like this:

[nggtags gallery=ken template=carousel]

or this:

[template=carousel nggtags gallery=ken]

the template does not apply. am i being retarded and am missing something really obvious? or is this a bug? or is it something else?!?

thanks in advance
