It's just more difficult to work with, since some of the template functions don't work with permanent galleries. Baxter's solution is the only one I can think of for two columns of permanent galleries.

Your archived galleries won't go away, so I don't see any real advantage to using permanent unless as Baxter suggests you don't have enough galleries to fill both your main pages and the archives.

Here's the AGP code that I use to get two columns on my archives. It fills both columns at the same time, so if you run out of galleries in a category both columns come out the same length if even number of galleries, or left column 1 longer if an odd number.

<%TEMPLATE
NAME Text
HTML <a href="##Gallery_URL##" onMouseOver="window.status='##Description##'; return true"; onMouseOut="window.status=''; return true";>##Description##</a> (##Thumbnails##)<br>
%>

and within the page

<TABLE>
  <TR>
<%GALLERIES
TYPE Text
CATEGORY {insert category name}
AMOUNT 200
HTML Text

INSERT
{
    LOCATION +1
    HTML </td>
}

INSERT
{
    LOCATION +2
    HTML </tr>
}
INSERT
{
    LOCATION +2
    HTML <tr>
}

INSERT
{
    LOCATION +1
    HTML <td>
}
%>
  </TR>
</TABLE>
