Can nanogallery2 be used to create a static gallery

Describe the issue
I've searched the user guide but cannot find an answer: can this be used to create a purely static gallery, meaning one that does not need an http server? For example, can I create a gallery out of images stored in a folder on a disk, viewable by simply opening a web page in a web browser?

This is not possible : one js running in a browser can not natively access a folder on a disk.

Thanks for the super quick response. May I suggest adding some clarification to the documentation somewhere, to mention that a server is needed? (Or, conversely, that this is not a static gallery generator.) It might save people in the future asking about it :-)
