Can I find these particular features in Gallery or related plugins?

Hi all.

I'm thinking of using Gallery for some large image and video archives, but have some required features. Checked through some of the documentation, but I'm still unclear on whether the application itself or existing plugins can do these things. They are:

1. Be able to manage video files (as well as the usual images) hosted on my own server. This does not have to be via an embedded player - it would be fine if the thumbnail image just linked to the file itself, allowing the user to download or play in their browser.

2. Searching by multiple tags. I.e. checkboxes that allow users to find all images that contain the combination of tags they've selected.

3. Some kind of Lightbox/Thickbox/Shutter type display capabilities (I'm assuming plugins could be installed for this).

I have reasonable CSS and HTML skills, but my PHP is rather limited - I can make small changes to existing scripts but am not going to be coding my own stuff anytime soon. Any insight or recommendations would be much appreciated... thanks!

1. Yes.
2. No, but there was a modification to the tags module do do something similar but not using the search.
3. some themes have this behavior.

Do you check in every year and ask a similar question?
Your first post was 3 years 1 week ago, second was 2 years 1 day ago and now this one.
Have you actually tried the software?
