In short the Gallery application is designed to mix posts from various sub-forums and display them on a single screen - a little bit like "Topics View" in a "Forum" application, where everything is shown in date order with a column that links to the appropriate sub-forum.

To do what you want to do you have to use other applications - and then, of course, you lose the gallery style image previews. In fact, all the "sidebar applications", i.e. Gallery, Blog and Newspaper have this same feature - showing posts from all sub-forums/categories (and issue when you remove the sidebar.)

Hi, Greg! Well, sadly to hear that but it answers my question.
I wanted that category to "work" like if it's of Category-type of application, but to have it of Gallery-type because I can see those 2 topics as pics (if they contain pics) which in result would display those pics also on home page of Mixed-type, so the whole site won't look bland.  Too bad the 2 can't go along together...  unless there's a solution that won't affect changing the structure of whole site.

Maybe it's actually possible to make Gallery-type work like Category-type by some tweaks in the code?
