 This is a beta version!!!

+ General infos

 - When the plugin needs to create severall 1000 new thumbnails, it can happen, that it time outs.
 Just execute it again. It won't recreate thumbnails which already exist.
 
-- It doesn't create thumbnails of movies yet. Actually that's a bit complicated to to, since piwigo (for what ever reason) expects movies not to be in the pwg_high dir, but in the websized dir.
+- It doesn't create thumbnails of movies yet. Actually that's a bit complicated to do, since piwigo (for what ever reason) 
+expects movies not to be in the pwg_high dir, but in the websized dir. So we'd also need to symlink the movie file itself.
+
+- If files or directories are deleted in the source directory, they won't be deleted in the piwigo gallery. (that would be about 1-3 lines of code to implement, if anybody wishes it ;-))

+ Get it working
+----------------------------------------
 
 - adjust in synchronlizeLocaldirectory.php the variables "sync_source_dir" and "piwigo_gallery_dir"
+- enable the plugin in piwigo. 
+- Then click in the piwigo administration on the menu entry: "plugins/synchronize local directory".
+- Now wait for a while. If there are a lot of images go and grab a beer and return later. 
+- If you get a timeout. Click again on this entry. Until you don't get a timeout anymore but you get back to the admin screen.
+- Then use the piwigo "quick local synchronization" to add the new images to the database.
