Reconcile mixed physical and virtual photo library

Hello All,

I have a mixed library of photos, some exist in the physical directory (At ./galleries) and some have been uploaded and placed in ./upload/

This has gotten quite messy over the years and I want to consolidate all the photos into the one place for backups etc. are there any tools that allow this to be done in an automated way?

I think of just removing the physical files and then uploading all the physical directories into each of the albums using an upload program but the folder names on the physical drive no longer match the album names in Piwigo and so it will not be simple.

Any hints or tips in how to do this easily? Would prefer to keep the metadata, if not then would be able to deal with that too,

Thanks

[extension by plg] Virtualize to virtualize all physical albums.
Maybe [extension by abravorus] VirtualizeAlbumById to virtualize only a specific physical album.
