ok. how long might it take till someone does it?
how long would i take to rewrite the gallery2 module for g3? complete rewrite or just update?

First somebody has to volunteer to do it. If you can find a volunteer it will get done faster.
It will be a complete rewrite as there is nothing in common with G2 to G3.

I have a similar need to do this type of thing, even if only a site admin can add the new members.
I wanted the album/photo owner to be able to restrict access to a selected group (that they can build), but without being an admin. I also wanted to change the logon to have the look and feel native to the browser being used, such as show in the attachments.

@album owner: There is a ticket for this in the tracker.
@changing login for different browsers:
In your screenshots we would have to write a different window for each browser?....
The whole reason that web standards exist is so that we don’t have to write specific code for specific environments. We should write code that adheres to established standards and software in charge of displaying our code should display it as the standards dictate.
We already bend over backwards for IE and don't think we should go down that road any further.
Sorry to side track the original topic.

All three of those examples came from the same source, basicaly by setting the following headers:
Obviously there is more to this such as handling the results that come back and error conditions, but the key is that NO-ONE has to write any code specific to the target browser being used, this is a capability that they all should handle based upon the headers they receive,
The only 'bad' part is that each browser has their own opinion about the look and feel of the results.

griffinmt, you are only shown those dialogs in your browse for HTTP Authentication. G3 doesn't have a tie in for that nor has anyone written a module for that and right now there is a bug where you can't upload images if your G3 install is behind HTTP Auth protection.
We don't use HTTP Auth and there's nothing built into G3 to support it at this time so we can't just set some headers and it magically start working. It would be a lot of work to do browser sniffing (if the browser isn't spoofing another browser) and then display the login dialog after that's been recreated.
Why? I've not seen ANY other package that takes this approach. Go to your web based email or your bank account or wordpress, drupal, facebook, myspace, twitter, google, slashdot, gallery.menalto.com, wikipedia, etc, etc, etc. They all have 2 fields, a username and password and don't display them in browser specific dialogs.

Fair enough, thanks for the explanation. Although, the examples shown are from a live business web app that does not seem to exibit any issues uploading customer check images into a database.
But it certainly does not warrant a major rewrite of parts of the engine!

I was talking specifically about G3 when I mentioned that bug:
It's in trac: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gallery
No, but it would take a 3rd party module, just as it does in G2, to support HTTP Authentication.
