Those problems have been addressed in the time since I wrote this post, back in May of 2008.

ZenPhoto is better than you think.

I have all sorts of top level albums with no images in them, just sub-albums with images.

ZenPhoto even grabs thumbnails from these sub-albums and uses them for the top-level albums.

Finally, I can create these directories/albums either via FTP or the admin screen. It makes no difference. It works.

Were you using an old version perhaps?

Actually, you can create empty albums – from the admin screen, just create an album, and don’t upload any photos.

From my quick playing around with Zenphoto 1.2, it appears that you can move photos from one album to another while preserving comments. You still can’t make an empty album though.

thanks for the fine review, I suggest ZP, as it’s easier installation and maintenance and powerful enough for most users. as Gallery is over powered and slow.

thanks for your informative review. there is just one thing to add: the search of gallery2 is very limited. if you need boolean search (AND/OR.. operators) go with zenphoto.
