I have a Gallery (Eglises de la Gironde). Under that I created an album (test) to which I uploaded a few photos. Now I'd like to create a few albums and subalbums under Gallery like what I'll need for real and I'm stuck, as I can't figure out how to create an album/subalbum structure from the Zenphoto administration area. I'd like an album named for example Auros with several subalbums like Notre-Dame and Saint-Germain into which I would upload photos.
Help.

That's really straight forward:
Way 1: Backend > Upload
- Upload to: Here select the album you want to create the subalbum to with the dropdown
- Then a checkbox appears "Make a new album". Check that.
- Give the album a title
- Upload images to it.
Way 2: Use FTP
Just upload folders with images to the album folder within the root albums folder.
Since I'm using Zenphoto at DreamHost with their easy, one-click creation of Zenphoto, I don't have access to the albums folder. I'll eventually install Zenphoto there manually so I can use ftp, but for the time being, I'm having to do without. So, I'm forced to use your option 1.
When I go to the Upload tab of Zenphoto administration, I have the Upload to: pull-down menu. There are currently two choices, / and test. I want to install an new album at the root level, so I leave /. I want to create an album (that will contain only subalbums and no photos), so I type the name Auros in the album name area. Unfortunately I don't see a choice to create an empty album. Must I upload one photo into this album, so that I can create it? If so, I will later delete the photo, as the album should only contain subalbums.
