We have already introduced you to the new features of Piwigo 11, regarding <\/strong>user management<\/strong><\/a> and <\/strong>photo management<\/strong><\/a>. Today we focus on another important aspect of this new version: managing and organizing your albums.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Information<\/p>

Reminder: what is an album in Piwigo ?<\/strong>In Piwigo, files are organized in albums, which are similar to folders on your computer…only smarter.Just like on your computer, you can create albums and sub-albums, to organize your files in a logical and unlimited tree view (a sub-album can itself have sub-albums, which also… well, you get the idea \ud83d\ude09)But albums differ significantly with folders on your computer: while on your computer, a file can only be present in one folder, in Piwigo, a file can be present in multiple albums<\/strong>.Thus, a carnival photo taken in March 2019 can be found in a “Carnival” album and a “March 2019” album, itself present in the “2019” album.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Redesign of the album manager<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The album list has been completely redesigned, following the same graphical interface as the user group manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, we have added several viewing modes for the album list, so that everyone can choose the view that suits them best: you can see the different views in the animation below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The album list has the same features as before, but with a more modern design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With one exception: whereas before you could reorder your albums from this page, you will now use the new \u201cmove album\u201d tool, which we’ll introduce to you below \ud83d\udc47.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easily move and reorganize your albums<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Piwigo 11 brings a brand new interface for reorganizing and moving your albums<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve radically changed the way administrators can reorder and reorganize their albums, to make their lives easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You now have access to a single page to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
