Feature request: album-wide description and "symlinks&q

first, thanks for the gallery software. I tried a few others and this is the one for me.

However, it does have two simple features missing from it that would make it just about perfect:

1. A album-wide description: I'd love to just be able to type a paragraph that is shown on, say, the first page of pictures that gives a general overview of what the album is about that is not associated with any particular picture. Armed with a paragraph or two of context I believe gives the viewers potentially much more appreciation at what they are looking at without having to view the description of every picture and try to put the story together themselves.

2. "symlinks": I sometimes have a album that fits under two catagories - I took some arty pictuers while traveling so they fit under my arty pix AND my travel sections. I'd rather save the disk space and just have a link. I'd also love to have a way to link to galleries outside of my own - for example I was travelling with a friend and would love to link to his albums in his gallery on another server so my viewers can get his point of view. Probably just a picture that points to a URL rather than a local file.

I appreciate your consideration on these requests. I believe them to be fairly simple and of potentially great benefit to many people in similar circumstances.

Thank you!
