I've just started developing an AIR application to upload pictures right from your local hard drive via the Application, and I was wondering if there was a way to connect to Gallery2 without creating a module and If so what part of the Gallery API do I use?

What I'm needing is:

|- 1. Ability to Connect to any Gallery2 Installation
|-- 2. Ability to login with user credentials
|--- 3. Ability to Upload images
|---- 3a. Edit images
|
|--- 4. Ability to create albums
|---- 4a. Edit albums

(But for now I'm focusing on 1, 2, and 3. [perhaps 3a.])

Can anyone point me in the right direction with this?

Because I think If Gallery2 had it's own Client Side application (with more features to come) it would benefit the Gallery2 project.

[Side note: I selected Adobe AIR to build the application on because all it takes to build on AIR is Html and Javascript. (Plus it's cross-platform compatible, meaning it'll work on a Macintosh or Windows machine)]

Any and All help is appreciated.

I actually started the same project this past spring, but got distracted by summer weather. But now would be a great time to continue.
I think everything on your wishlist should be possible.

Well, my work is in flash, and I was more experimenting at the time, learning the AIR apis.
But my intent is quite a bit like Rich's ImageDropr.

I have two module updates to get reviewed, and then I'll dig up my previous work.
