Many customers ask me by email on how the plugin imports lots of galleries from a text dump that fast (say 1000 FHG's at once). So I decided to explain it here.

The plugin does not physically import the galleries in the bunch import mode when the "Import" button is pressed. It just creates the posts (one gallery = one post) and inserts the gallery_magic shortcodes there, so it doesn't take a lot of time to process even a huge dump. To make it import the actual images and crop the thumbnails, you have to open the post in the browser. When you do that for the first time, the gallery_magic shortcode will be replaced with the actual gallery. Thus it may take some time till the post will be finally displayed. This is for the first time only! After that the post will appear w/o any delays.
