Description

The Carousel module currently offers a few options, such as the overlay's color, whether EXIF data should be displayed, or whether the comment form should be displayed.

Those options are global; once you set them they apply to each gallery on your site.

It would be nice if one could toggle those options (and maybe even disable Carousel altogether) as part of the settings of each gallery.

We could focus on implementing this for the Gallery blocks only at first.

Something like this:

Research direction

Start by reading the Carousel module and Gallery block settings implementation; the issue names no files or tests. Confirm with maintainers how per-gallery options should interact with global settings, then verify that each Gallery block can control the listed options, including disabling Carousel.
