Hello forum,
recently I transferred ~18.000 photos directly onto the HD of my Raspbian Piwigo server. I kept the folder structure as it was on my PC but deleted everything which is not a picture.
Then I synced my collection and I received lots of confirmations and no errors.
Then I read about Virtualize Plug-in and so I installed it and then I virtualized all my albums. I think this processed without errors as well.
It says, that this plug-in moves all my photos from "galleries" to "upload".
Two issues turned up after this:
1. I can not find "upload"
2. all my photos are still in folders/albums in "galleries" but some (not all) albums are double now but they only contain empty folders but no photos.
Can anybody tell me, what I did wrong here?
How can I fix it, if necessary?
Should I re-sync or re-virtualize my collection?
Thanks and kind regards.

Hello forum,
I am still confused with virtualizing
Make physical categories virtual and move photos from "galleries" to "upload"
When I check "Album List Management" is see this (example):
[...]
Desktop 0 photos . 24 photos in 3 sub-albums
Edit | Mange sub-albums | delete albums | jump to album
Desktop 0 photos . 0 photos in 3 sub-albums
Edit | Mange sub-albums | synchronize | jump to album
[...]
So my photos are only in the first Album.
What confuses me:
- What is the second album good for?
- Both albums are shown in the gallery. Why can't I delete the second (empty) album?
- What does it mean, move photos from "galleries" to "upload"?
Maybe there is a general misunderstanding of the function on my side.
Could anybody help me to understand the concept?
Thanks and kind regards.

[edit]
while keep on trying I found some answers to my questions above:
"galleryie" and "upload" are folders at the backend. After "virtualizing" all folders below "galleriies" are empty, but the folder structure remains. The photos are moved to folder "upload"
So I deleted all empty folders in "galleries" and re-synchronized again, and then all double folders in Piwigo are gone :-)
