All images in chronological order

Is there a way to link to the zenphoto gallery and present all the images in all album(s) in chronological order? I know there is the print_latest_images function, but do I have to make a custom album.php file for it?

I want to link to my albums from within WP in a way that my visitors can view all the latest additions in album style! From within that 'viewing style' they can click to individual images. I'm using the ZenLatest plugin at the moment to show the latest 6 images/additions, but I want to link my visitors to ALL my images in descending order.

How can I do that?

    You can create a dynamic album using the search term "jpg" assuming all your photos are jpegs. Then just sort the album in descending date/time order.

    Will this album include all new additions to ZP as well or just up till the moment the album was created?

    And can I limit the search/dynamic album to just show all the (sub)albums of one main album? At the moment I have one big album named photography containing several others, all photographs. I want a dynamic album of just that album. In the near future I will have another album called drawings, and I don't want all the jpg's inside that main album to be included. Is this possible?

    You have to give the images for example a special tag to be included or whatever and set the dynamic album up to match that.

    The key thing here is that a dynamic album is just a search, so any constraints you can put on a search will apply to a dynamic album created from that search. `Dynamic` means that the content are determined each time the album is viewed--that is the search is done then, so any new items meeting the criteria will be included.

    Thanks for the explanation. The suggestion made by brainbrazil will work then when I only choose 'jpg' as search item and limited to the filename. The only problem now is that the new album reports an error message like described in that other topic: http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=6478
