Dear Piwigo users,
I would like to use piwigo for getting an overview over and downloading from a large picture (jpg and raw) archive on a web server. Say the pictures are in
/pictures
Then I would like piwigo to somehow scan and represent these pictures without writing to /pictures (it can store thumbnails somewhere else). It should not copy over the photos, and it should be able to update the database (I can do this manually sometimes when I need to access the new pictures).
Is there a function or a module that would be suitable for such a task?
Thank you very much.

Piwigo works exactly like that
put pictures in the "galleries" folder (configurable in the site manager), synchronize, and that's all

hi.
....and the /galleries folder can actually be a symbolic link to any other place on that server where the web server may have read-only access.
That's how mine works.

Thank you!
Then I will start using Piwigo right away!
Have a beautiful day :-)

You can actually store the photos in any directory on the server (within the same domain) and use the Site Manager (in Tools) to configure it.
I have done this to use the same photos in 2 versions of Piwigo on my server - it saves having to upload and store the photos twice.
