Hi out there!

I'm trying to install a new piwigo gallery with strange physical album names.

For most galleries photos are stored in albums with structured descriptive paths like
"/albums/paris/louvre/glas_pyramid.jpg"
or are structured by dates like
"/albums/2017/may/15/dsc_1234.jpg"
These paths are used and shown on several places in the program, like the breadcrumbs, newest albums and so on.

In my gallery I use obfuscated paths that are generated by an import program and they do not use any meta data of the photos. E.g. "/albums/j/g/m/zjhgbn.jpg". All files are attached to virtual albums, smart albums or can be accessed with the search function based on iptc meta data.

Now, how can I completely inhibit the visibility of any physical album? I do not need the physical album tree in the menu. Also I do not want the physical albums shown in the newest albums or in RSS feeds.

Thanx for reading, neda
