After integrating 4images into my vb3 rc4, I have some suggestions and requests (my site is down currently while I'm waiting for vb3 gold, and after converting an old phpBB to vb 2.3.4, so sorry I can't show off the 4images):

1. Ability to integrate gallery into Forum wrapper: basically be able to use vb3 header, navbar, who's online, footer, copyright, etc.)
2. Integration with netPBM AND imagemagik -- both are free solutions.
3. administer gallery from ACP in vb3. I'm getting tired of logging into a billion diff control panels
4. Ability to place components on screen in manner in which we wish -- myVbIndex had this in vb 2.x version, where you could just place $header, $search, $navbits, etc. where you wanted them and create your own layout. I don't like Coppermine's huge random pics, latest pics, and tiny album bar if you've only got one album. I want control of how the elements are laid out between header/navbar/footer.
5. It would be nice to be able to place the gallery folder outside of the forum folder -- I have mine installed into htdocs/gallery and my forum in htdocs/forum
6. mass add to gallery/mass thumbnailing. 4images allows me to upload a large amount of files to a category folder, then has a built in import tool as well as a built in mass import -- the mass import just checks in that folder and adds contents. The thumbnail tool checks database to see if any images don't have thumbnails, and autocreates using netpbm
7. Ability to turn off gallery similar to turning off forum
8. right click-disable
9. lightbox
10. user comments to pics

Ok, that's my brain storm for the day. I'm subscribing to this so if you'd like clarification I should get a notify and check back.
