Is it possible to have Album show pictures that are uploaded directly

Is it possible to have pictures that are uploaded to a specific folder, to become part of an Album with that name. I want to make the work a little easier to maintain, and thought about setting up some Albums with specific folders, instead of assigning pictures to it. Is there a way that images that are uploaded are "read" on the fly, while opening "Album" through the explorer, instead of having to assign newly uploaded images by hand.

that's basically what the ImageGallery tag does.

{ImageGallery picFolder="uploads/images/galleries/2006-family-vacation/"}

any images in that folder will appear in that gallery or album. i like using the core tag as it doesn't require anything extra to be added and has "enough" features for me.  the only downside is that it does not automatically generate thumbnails for images which don't have one.. such as when you upload images by ftp. you have to browse each directory with new images using ImageManager on the back-end which will cause it to refresh/generate the thumbnails (or use the ImageManager to upload them in the first place).

Thanks for the reply Kermit, but I'm using "Album" as a module and was wondering if there is a possibility to have images added to a folder that represents an album, is automically added to that album, so indeed without having to go to the backend to create thumbnaiils and adding to the album.
