Enhancement Feature Request if Gallery doesn't already have this feature

Add an administrative option to narrow the Gallery scan and pull up of images from explicit selected folders only.

Pros:

This would speed up this tool when Nextcloud operators and users have large amounts of shared files as well as heavily nested folders that contain only a small number of image files that require reading through many thousands of non-image files to reach those to display.

Users can accidently upload a single image file they had no intention of having displayed deeply nested in a folder of files they want to share and the present Gallery tool pulls that image up if that folder is being group shared.

Adding the option of specific shared folders for the Gallery tool to only scan and display the image files would be faster and more secure for users and operators of Nextcloud.
