First off, let me say that zenphoto kicks ass, and is "almost" exactly what I'm looking for in a photo gallery app.
However, the one feature it's missing is quite a biggy for me. No sub-albums.
I used to use SPG which was in essence a cut down version of ZP. It allowed sub albums which were auto recognised, so I know it's possible to do. I therefore wonder why it's not currently in ZP.
I appreciate that there might be techincal reasons why ZP doesn't do this, but there must be some sort of way of categorising albums (whether it's using tags, categories, or sub folders).

But glad to hear they are working on it.
Can anyone tell me why it's not in already? It seems a fairly obvious thing to include?

Secondly, the reason it is not in it already is because it's called development. I am yet to find a code generator for subalbums so I am waiting until this gets out of beta and out of developer release status before I start wondering where subalbums are.
Really we just need to be patient, they, so far, have seemed comitted to develop this gallery and honor people's resonable feature requests but like most of us, we have school and work and many other things in our lives that take time too.
We have busy lives and other things to do. It will take time, but this is high on the priorities.
Perhaps you also haven't thought of the interface complications that could arise from allowing subalbums with such a simple theme structure... think about that for a while and let me know if you come up with a perfect solution. ;-)
It's not that hard, and I am working on it. Give it a little time...
Zenphoto is not its default theme. It's more a framework for creating custom galleries and controlling how they're displayed. I have to make the best framework for nested albums so every theme can use them.
