I use Thumbs+ too, but only for keeping track of my content.
For making galeries I discovered Arles sometime ago. And I must say, it is a huge timesaver.
It's a rather complicated program and there is a learning curve. But it offers a lot of possibilities when you make tgp galleries. For freesites I don't use it.
Now I make a template with DW and put it in Arles. If necessary I can use thumbs of different sizes and Arles makes them for me. You can put the thumbs wherever you want (you only have to tell Arles which template it has to use and how many thumbs there are on a page). It also adds alt tags if you want.
There are parameters for almost everything.
The only update I make to a template at each run is the description tag (this one is not a parameter). But you can do this from within Arles.
Once the template and project file (it uses project files which is very powerful) is made, it takes about 1-2 minutes to make the html of your tgp gallery. And that html can be put in Gass, AS, or any program to duplicate and add recips.
I think it is worth to try the free trial.
