I've posted a new build for Simple Gallery in the downloads section (members only).

New Functionality Includes:-

• Added a new search companion module. This module is templateable and allows you to search for photo names, descriptions and tags. When a search is performed, the user is sent accross to the main gallery instance which now contains additional search functionality. See live example here.
• The album synchronisation process now initiates a background task and emails the administrator when complete. A number of issues have been resolved in the code. Thanks to Mark Jordan for the synch code.
• The flash based uploader has been updated to the latest version. If you experience any issues with the uploader, please post on the forums or send an email to support@ventrian.com.

Thanks again for all your feedback!
