This plugin will use the same shortcode as the WP 2.5 gallery shortcode "[gallery]". So this will replace your
gallery with some extra features like:
- Extracting exif info, from Wordpress 2.5 exif info from images is stored in the database. Exif info will be display by the "boxes"
- GEO/GPS support, if your image is geotagged, a icon will appear with a geo link to flash earth.
- out of the box support for many boxes (Lightbox/Slimbox/Greybox/Thickbox), no need to install them or put them in your theme.
For help on use of the shortcode

Note: this is still very beta, and there will be some bugs, I need to do some valid XHTML and code cleanup. But some people ask me to release it, and I also need some people to test it on other wp installs.
examples:

- Activate better-galley in Wordpress plugin panel
- Optional: highslide and lightview install
Highslide and Lightview are not included, because of their licenses. If you want to
use them, you should download them from their site and add them in the better-gallery
plugin directory if you agree on their license.
