Is it possible to have maybe a quick upload feature added? (meaning it would be at the bottom of the pop up?)
So members can either select an image, or upload one quick.

No, this will not be - and cannot be with reasonable time and effort - included. It is far more complicated to insert an image into the database than to read information about already existant ones. Think of it: The gallery script has to put the original image to the right place, resize it, make thumbnails, put the needed information into the right tables. The gallery does this using functionality normally deeply integrated into the script, and each script uses different methods. You'd have to get the exact settings from the database to do that right, and with every update of the gallery script the uploading process might change. That's just plain impossible to do, if you ask me.
Also, really, I do not see the big potential gain in this. Even if it would be possible to start the uploading process from within the popup, you always are redirected to some sort of confirmation and post-uploading, pre-processing screen of the gallery (where you can choose title and description of the image and such). All one could possibly do is to relocate the place, where the user starts the uploading process by choosing which image to upload. Afterwards, he'd always end up in the gallery or albums, whatever system used. Then he just might as well start his upload-process there.
What one could think about is to offer a link to the upload-pages of used gallery-systems at the bottom of the popup.
