Comment(by jshoor):

 This upgraded integration still has the same limitations due to the
 Gallery 2 API; however, I reworked it significantly since the latest
 version and it should be very usable at this point.

 My original approach was to only download images from the remote site when
 needed; however, I ran into problems controlling the event loop due to the
 fact that the http classes are asynchronous. Additionally, I found that
 the performance really suffered when you tried to do large slideshows
 across multiple folders.

 This version of the integration follows a similar approach to MythMusic
 where all images are downloaded at once. While it is slower initially,
 there is far less code needed, since once the files are local, the rest of
 the plug-in works normally.

 To use the integration, there are three new settings in the configuration
 screen.  Once, configured there should be a Download option available from
 the File Submenu.

 Feedback is always appreciated.
