[opencms-dev] Insert Images: ImageBrowse vs. Gallerybrowser

[John Bieling]

We do not use galleries, cause it is impossible to find an image with 
the galleries! We have 2000+ pictures and galleries do not provide a 
structure. We would need to apply categories or something and that will 
take time we do not have.

But nevermind, I just added the filebrowser-tab to the galleriebrowser 
by myself. It was not that hard after getting to know the code.
