Auto Grid Responsive Gallery WordPress

This is a WordPress plugin that scans a folder in your WordPress installation and its subfolders containing images.
The subfolders will be the categories that will appear at the top, and the plugin will make a grid responsive gallery with the images.

You only need to Drag and Drop images into a folder. And add the gallery in your posts or pages with a shortcode

You only need to take care of organizing your images in folders and if you want adding thumbnails.

The images are uploaded via FTP, so you can take advantage of the goodies of FTP uploads using droplets. For example: “transmit” (for MAC) or “FTP Droplet Lite” (for Windows)

Then you only would have to drag and drop the images into a folder in your desktop computer and that’s it, the droplet will automatically connect to your folder in your WordPress.

NEW HUGE UPDATE
The plugin was made totally from scratch again, reusing just few lines of code so now it has a better structure and fixed bugs and undesired behaviors.
I improved the design and added many features and effects.
It is a totally new plugin so the changes are not compatible with the old version, but you can always stick with the old version which I do not recommend.

----> Update: April 22, 2013 
Now it support multiple Galleries in your WP, just to the shortcode pass a parameter 
specifying the url of another gallery, for example: [gridGallery directory="gallery2"]

Now you can link to your posts, if you want an image of the grid to link to a post 
instead of opening the lightbox just in the name of the image specify the url after
"$$" for example like this: image2$$sample-page.png
