Hi
No :/
You have two way of thinking:
-Ftp: you move, copy, duplicate etc the files/folders then synch
-web upload: you upload then move, copy, duplicate the albums (and not the files/folders)

In Piwigo 3 maybe these two will merged in a global better way of managing physical and virtual things

Thank you Flop. ok I am ready to take the pain :/. now I have another question, I added few albums/images thru web upload. Now the upload folder shows the directories on date based. is there any way to sort the upload album (i folder) on album name basis.

secondly, when around v3 is expected?

thanks again
FAQ

faq

As far as I am aware you cannot alter the structure of the 'upload' folder or the way that Piwigo uses the date of upload to create the directories in Upload.
Maybe this could be done using a plugin - although I doubt it.

(NOTE for flop - FAQ is asking about changing the physical content of the upload and -data/i/upload folders to store the images by album name on the server - he did not mean change the way they are displayed in Piwigo.)

I'm not sure that it could be a feature of V3 as it would need to be backward compatible with previous versions - but I am not a coder so I may be wrong.

On the question of moving the images to different physical album directories and the problem of the names, why not just rename all the images in each directory to have a prefix or suffix of the album name (ie same as the directory name).
This could be done using a script to change all the names contained i one directory. Then you move them to different directories more easily (as none of the names will be the same), and finally resync.

I may have a script to assist with the renaming of the contents of a directory if it will help.

Thank you Pewe for explaining me.
yes this is what I meant Flope.
I will definitely look in to the name changing option.
meanwhile if V3 is expected in near future, I will wait till then.
