There is no limit on deepness.</li> + + <li>Basically, an element is represented by a file. A file can be a + Piwigo element if its extenstion is among <code>file_ext</code> + configuration parameter possibilities (see <span + class="filename">include/config_default.inc.php</span> file). A file can + be a picture if its extension is among <code>picture_ext</code> + configuration parameter possibilities.</li> + + <li>Picture elements must have an associated thumbnail (see section below + about thumbnails)</li> + + <li>Picture elements can have a high quality file associated. As for + wedding.jpg in the example above. No prefix on the high quality picture.</li> + + <li>Non picture elements (video, sounds, file texts, what you want...) are + by default represented by an icon corresponding to the filename + extension. Optionaly, you can associate a thumbnail and a representative + file (see video.avi in the example above).</li> + + <li><em>Warning</em>: the name of directories and files must contain only letters, figures, "-", "_" or ".".
