Suffix .alb in dynamic albums

In the user guide "How to use the Dynamic Albums feature" you said that the suffix (.alb) will be shown only, when there is an album with the same name, otherwise it is omitted in the URL. I found that the suffix will not be eliminated in all cases, even if there is no other regular album with the same name.

When using "printPageListWithNav" in an album for pagination, all pages beside page one, refers to an URL with the suffix ".alb" in the name. The same happens on the image pages. The previous and next buttons (using getPrevImageURL/getNextImageURL) refers also to an URL with the .alb suffix in name. So, all images within a dynamic album can be accessed even by "http://www.domain.com/dynamic-album.alb/image.jpg.html" or "http://www.domain.com/dynamic-album/image.php.html" (duplicate content).

Do I understand something wrong, or is it a bug?

    The duplicated urls sound like a bug actually. It should of course be consistent.

    `http://www.domain.com/dynamic-album/image.php.html`
    You really get his url for an image in an dymamic album? Actually an image is still in its real album and that should be shown in the url.

    Edit:
    Indeed the dynamic album is now shown in the url. Somehow I missed that change indeed. However that is actually also duplicate content regarding images as they "are" already in another album. So we have bascially "tripled" content here.
  • Triple content: That's even worse. I did not notice that up to now.

    The links behind the thumbs ("image.jpg.html") should refer to its original place/album.
