uiimagepickercontroller

Hello all, I was wondering if there's a way to select an entire photo album with UIImagePickerController.

What I have now is a UIImagePickerController with sourceType of PhotoLibrary. It shows the Albums, and navigates inside an album to select a single image...

What I want to do is when the user selects the Album, instead of going inside the album, I want to load all the images to an array so I could do a timed slideshow of them.

The delegate (DidFinishPickingImage) lets me run code only after the user has already gone into the album and selected a single image.

Is there a way to do it? I couldn't find any information on this. Thanks!
