Hi,

why does piwigo save files inside the upload folder by year and month rather than by its album name? it makes restoring photos from a backup incredibly difficult. I accidentally deleted an entire album tonight rather than 1 sub-album inside of a main album. I have backups, but since I don't know when I uploaded the photos, I need to download the entire uploads folder and go through each directory so I can restore all of the photos I deleted. this stinks when you have over 12,000 photos in your gallery.

is there an easier process...?!

sorry if I sounded upset. It's just very frustrating that in order to restore photos from a backup, you need to know when you uploaded them. since I don't, I need to go through all 12,000+ photos. sigh
