Thank you for your feedback! Here's our comments:
* Please state what folders you don't want jAlbum to create. It's hard to know with so little information to work with
* We agree with you that the auto dragging could and should be improved. The performance varies depending on what machine you're using. What OS are you using?
* Regarding panoramics: Just enter an extreme value for max image width under jAlbum settings and only the image height will be used to limit the image size. Enter for instance 10000x800
* Check out the latest Turtle skin and its support for panoramics. It should support swiping gestures now
* You can switch off that script by disabling jAlbum's widget support under album settings->advanced->metadata
